How to Convert Feet to Meters
One foot is exactly 0.3048 meters. Multiply feet by 0.3048 to obtain meters.
feet × 0.3048 = meters
The calculator multiplies your input by 0.3048. The displayed result is rounded for readability; keep additional decimal places when continuing a calculation. Round the final answer to a precision that matches the original measurement rather than adding apparent accuracy to a rough estimate.
A worked example
A 12-foot room length is 12 × 0.3048 = 3.6576 meters. A 10-foot length is exactly 3.048 meters. Convert each dimension before calculating an area in metric units.
Using the result for a floor plan
Use this conversion to prepare a metric planning brief from imperial notes. Convert additional inches separately or first express the full measurement in decimal feet. Keep the source measurements so the conversion can be checked later.
Record the original value and unit beside the converted value when sharing notes. This makes it easier to trace a mistake and avoids confusing a converted measurement with a new on-site measurement. Conversion changes the unit used to describe a quantity; it does not improve the accuracy of the quantity you started with.
Common Feet to Meters Values
1 foot in meters
1 foot equals approximately 0.3048 meters. This is the base relationship: each foot corresponds to approximately 0.3048 meters. Keep the full conversion factor when multiplying a larger measurement.
10 feet in meters
10 feet equals approximately 3.048 meters. To check this value, multiply 10 by 0.3048. Scale from the full factor rather than multiplying a rounded one-unit result.
100 feet in meters
100 feet equals approximately 30.48 meters. A 100-foot length is exactly 30.48 meters. Convert each boundary independently before working out a site's perimeter or area.
Feet to Meters FAQ
Is this converter free to use?
Yes. No registration, subscription, or credit is required. Enter a non-negative value and read the result immediately. The calculation takes place in your browser, and you can also use the formula and reference table without running the calculator.
Why does my result have several decimal places?
Many conversions do not produce a whole number. The calculator displays up to six decimal places. Preserve enough precision for intermediate calculations, then round once at the end. A long decimal does not mean your original physical measurement was equally precise.
Can I enter a decimal measurement?
Yes. Enter a decimal number in the source unit. Convert a written fraction into a decimal first: one half is 0.5 and one quarter is 0.25. Do not enter mixed-unit notation into a single numeric field; first express the complete measurement in one unit.
Does changing the unit change the drawing scale?
No. A unit conversion expresses the same quantity in a different system. Drawing scale is the relationship between a length on a drawing and the real-world length. Check that relationship separately before measuring a printout, tracing an image, or exporting linework.
Can I use a length factor for floor area?
No. Area conversions use squared length relationships, so their factors differ from ordinary length conversions. Choose the appropriate area converter for square feet, square meters, or acres. Keep wall lengths and floor areas labeled separately throughout your project.
Now Turn Those Measurements into a Floor Plan
Keep one unit system in your layout brief. Use the floor plan generator to explore a house arrangement, or the room floor plan generator for a single space. Include the measured dimensions and fixed openings, then check the generated concept against those notes. Browse all unit converters when another measurement needs translating.
