Inches to Feet
An inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, used for screen sizes, paper formats, and everyday measurements in the US. 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 in equals ≈0.0833333 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 = in × ≈0.0833333
in = ft × 12
Worked example: 5 in × ≈0.0833333 = ≈0.416667 ft.
