Feet to Centimeters

About This Tool

This tool converts imperial length expressed as feet and inches into metric centimeters. It accepts feet and inches as numeric inputs, with inches constrained to 0–11 for accuracy. The core calculation uses total_inches = feet * 12 + inches, then centimeters = total_inches * 2.54, yielding a two-decimal result for precision in technical documents. Advanced users may supply total_inches or decimal feet as an alternative input pathway, but explicit feet and inches take precedence when both are provided. The converter is designed for professionals and students who need fast, exact metric values for construction drawings, product specs, or academic work. Its value lies in a consistent, auditable calculation process that can be reused across multiple projects without context switching. The tool outputs a single numeric centimeter value, suitable for inclusion in reports, material lists, or CAD notes. Use cases include converting room dimensions, piece lengths, or fabric cut lists from imperial to metric while maintaining measurement integrity across disciplines.
