CM to Feet Converter

One centimeter equals 0.0328084 feet, because a foot is defined as exactly 30.48 centimeters. To convert centimeters to feet, divide the centimeter value by 30.48 (or multiply by 0.0328084). To go the other way, multiply feet by 30.48 to get centimeters. The calculator above does this automatically in both directions.

Floor plans and architectural drawings from metric-system countries are typically dimensioned in centimeters or meters, while plans in the United States, Canada, and the UK often use feet and inches. When you work from a floor plan, a furniture spec sheet, or a room measurement from a metric source, you will frequently need to convert wall lengths, ceiling heights, and room dimensions from centimeters to feet before comparing them with imperial measurements — or the reverse, when preparing a metric plan for an international audience.

When converting a full floor plan rather than a single measurement, convert each wall segment individually rather than converting a total perimeter — this avoids compounding rounding errors across a multi-wall layout. For dimensions that will be built or fabricated, keep at least two decimal places in feet (or work in feet and inches) since a 1 cm rounding error becomes more noticeable at larger room scales.
