How does this calculator work?
1 meter = 100 cm = 1000 mm = 0.001 km = 3.28084 ft = 39.3701 in = 1.09361 yd = 0.000621371 mi = 0.000539957 nmi. Select the source unit, enter the distance, and all conversions appear instantly. All factors are exact international definitions.
Formula
How this is calculated
The meter (metre) is the SI base unit of length, defined since 2019 as the distance light travels in vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second. Every other length unit in this converter is tied to the meter through an exact or highly precise factor.
For metric units the factors are exact powers of ten: 1 km = 1000 m, 1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 mm = 0.001 m. Imperial units derive from the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement: 1 inch = exactly 0.0254 m, 1 foot = exactly 0.3048 m, 1 yard = exactly 0.9144 m, and 1 mile = exactly 1609.344 m. The nautical mile is defined by the International Hydrographic Organization as exactly 1852 m.
All conversions are two steps: multiply the input by the source unit's base factor to get meters, then divide by the target unit's base factor. Because each factor is an exact definition, there is no rounding drift — the only approximation is in the number of decimal places displayed.
Frequently asked questions
1 meter = exactly 1/0.3048 feet ≈ 3.280839895 feet, usually rounded to 3.28084 ft. Conversely, 1 foot = exactly 0.3048 m.
1 meter = 1/1609.344 miles ≈ 0.000621371 miles. To go the other way, 1 mile = 1609.344 m exactly.
A yard (0.9144 m) is slightly shorter than a meter (1 m). 1 meter ≈ 1.09361 yards. The yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 m since the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
