Cubic Meters to Cubic Feet
A cubic meter is 1,000 liters, used to measure large volumes like shipping containers, concrete, and room capacity. The cubic foot is used to measure the capacity of refrigerators, luggage, and shipping volumes in the US and UK. 1 m³ equals ≈35.3147 ft³, 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 volume, measured here against volume's base unit (L) — every other volume 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
ft³ = m³ × ≈35.3147
m³ = ft³ × ≈0.0283168
Worked example: 5 m³ × ≈35.3147 = ≈176.573 ft³.
