Is this accurate enough for engineering drawings?

Yes, but round to your plan’s required precision.

Can I convert meters back?

Use the meters to feet calculator for the reverse direction.

unit calculator

Convert measurement in feet to meters for travel, construction, or science projects.

Enter the length in feet, including decimals for partial feet (for example, 10.5 ft).
The calculator multiplies your input by 0.3048 to convert to meters.
Review the result in meters and, if needed, round or format it to match your drawings, specs, or documents.
If you are working from feet‑and‑inches measurements, convert inches to a decimal portion of a foot before entering the value.

Feet: The length in feet you want to convert to meters. You can enter whole feet or decimal feet. To convert a feet‑and‑inches measurement, first convert the inches to a decimal (for example, 10 ft 6 in = 10.5 ft).

We take the length you enter in feet as a decimal value (for example, 10 or 10.5).

Using the definition 1 foot = 0.3048 meters exactly, we multiply your feet value by 0.3048.

Internally, we keep more precision than we display so you can trust the underlying numbers even if the visible output is rounded.

The result is returned as meters, which you can round to the precision your project or application requires.

Meters = Feet × 0.3048

Converting construction measurements in feet to metric dimensions for use on international drawings or in CAD tools that expect meters.
Translating US hiking distances, room dimensions, or furniture sizes into meters for travel, moving, or interior design.
Checking metric specs when ordering parts, equipment, or building materials from manufacturers who list sizes in meters.
Helping students and professionals move quickly between unit systems when studying physics, engineering, or architecture.

For feet‑and‑inches values, convert inches to decimal feet before entering (e.g., 10'6" ≈ 10.5 ft, 5'9" ≈ 5.75 ft).
Keep an extra decimal place or two when working through design calculations, then round to a cleaner number on final drawings.
Use the companion meters‑to‑feet converter to double‑check that your round‑trip conversions stay within acceptable tolerance.
If you are working with very small or very large measurements, consider whether centimeters, millimeters, or kilometers might be more intuitive metric units.
Displays rounded decimal meters by default; you may need to adjust rounding for high‑precision engineering work.
Does not accept feet and inches as separate inputs—you must combine them into a decimal foot value first.
Assumes non‑negative lengths; negative values and directional conventions are not modeled.

Feet = 10.
Meters = 10 × 0.3048 = 3.048 m.
Interpretation: you can specify the deck length as 3.048 m or round to 3.05 m depending on your tolerance.

Feet = 25.
Meters = 25 × 0.3048 = 7.62 m.
Interpretation: order approximately 7.62 m of cable when working with metric‑only suppliers.

Convert feet to meters instantly using the exact 0.3048 factor—perfect for construction, travel, science, and engineering work.

Enter feet (including fractional feet) to get meters you can drop directly into metric plans, CAD models, or spreadsheets.

Ideal for anyone working across US and metric measurement systems who needs fast, accurate unit conversions.
