Centimeters to Feet
A centimeter is one hundredth of a meter, commonly used for paper sizes and human height in metric countries. A foot is 0.3048 meters, historically based on the length of a human foot and still used for height and altitude in the US. 1 cm equals ≈0.0328084 ft, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to length, measured here against length's base unit (m) — every other length unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
ft = cm × ≈0.0328084
cm = ft × 30.48
Worked example: 5 cm × ≈0.0328084 = ≈0.164042 ft.
