Feet to Yards
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. A yard is 0.9144 meters or 3 feet, the standard unit for American football field markings and fabric measurements. 1 ft equals ≈0.333333 yd, 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
yd = ft × ≈0.333333
ft = yd × 3
Worked example: 5 ft × ≈0.333333 = ≈1.66667 yd.
