Length Converter

Convert length between metric units, inches, feet, yards and international miles.

How to use this tool

Enter a length and choose the starting and target units.

Important to know

Convert length between metric units, inches, feet, yards and international miles.

Feet and miles use international definitions, not the former US survey foot. This changes length units only and does not calculate area or distance traveled.

Formula and methodology

Convert to metres, then divide by the target factor. 1 in = 0.0254 m; 1 ft = 0.3048 m; 1 yd = 0.9144 m; 1 mi = 1,609.344 m.

Example

1 mile equals 1.609344 kilometres.
