Convert a length between metric and imperial units, from millimeters up to miles. Enter a number, pick the unit you have and the unit you want, and the result updates as you type. Use the swap button to flip the direction without retyping anything.
How this is calculated
Every unit is defined against the meter using its exact international value: 1 inch is 2.54 cm, 1 foot is 0.3048 m, 1 mile is 1609.344 m, and 1 nautical mile is 1852 m. The input is converted to meters and then to the target unit, so the answer is exact to the definitions rather than a rounded table lookup.
How to use
- Type the length you want to convert.
