Feet to Meters
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. The meter is the SI base unit of length, defined by the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. 1 ft equals 0.3048 m, 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
m = ft × 0.3048
ft = m × ≈3.28084
Worked example: 5 ft × 0.3048 = 1.524 m.
