ConvBolt — Unit ConverterFeet to Meters Converter
Converting feet to meters is a multiplication by a fixed factor: 1 ft = 0.3048 m. The table below covers the values people look up most often, and the formula section shows exactly where that factor comes from.
Because one foot works out to 0.3048 m, the meter is the much smaller unit of the two: a figure given in meter always carries a smaller number than the same measurement in foot. A chart drawn in ft can hide that, so check which label the axis uses before you compare two readings.
DIY and home-improvement work is where this pair shows up most: you measure in feet but the hardware store or an imported product sheet quotes meters, so the conversion has to be right the first time.
The conversion factor used here is 0.3048 m per foot (4 significant digits as shown). Kept to seven figures it covers professional measurement; if you round it to two or three decimals for a spreadsheet, the error scales with the input — at a value of 1,000 ft a factor rounded to three decimals can be off by a measurable amount. The reverse direction uses 3.28084 ft per m, the exact reciprocal, so a round trip through both pages returns your original number.

How to convert feet to meters
Multiply the foot value by 0.3048 to get the equivalent in meters. This single factor works for every value in the table above and for anything else you need — there is no per-value adjustment, which is why a conversion table and a calculator always agree.
If you need the opposite direction, use the Meters to Feet converter instead of dividing by hand; both pages use the same source factors. For every other ft conversion in one place, see the ft conversion hub.
