Convert meters to feet — and back — using the exact definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m). Loads with m → ft preselected; the multiplier is shown under every result.

The formula

feet = meters ÷ 0.3048 (= meters × 3.2808399) · meters = feet × 0.3048. Mental shortcut: triple the meters and add 10% — 10 m → 30 + 3 = 33 ft (true: 32.8).

Common values

10 32.81 10,668 35,000

Rooms, pools, peaks, and altitudes

Real estate quotes ceiling heights and room dimensions in whichever system the country uses — the 2.4 m / 8 ft standard ceiling is the anchor. Swimming: an Olympic pool is 50 m (164 ft); the “25-yard” US short-course pool is 22.86 m, which trips up converted lap counts. Mountains and aviation bring the big numbers: Everest at 8,849 m / 29,032 ft, airliners cruising at 10.7 km / 35,000 ft. Working the other direction (a house listing in feet, a regulation in meters)? The feet to meters converter loads with the direction reversed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the exact meters to feet formula?
Divide meters by 0.3048 — equivalently multiply by 3.2808399. The foot has been defined as exactly 0.3048 m since 1959, so 10 m = 32.808399 ft with no measurement uncertainty, just unending decimals from the division.
How tall is Mount Everest in feet?
The 2020 official survey height is 8,848.86 m = 29,031.7 ft. The older figure of 8,848 m converts to 29,028.9 ft — the "29,029 feet" you may have memorized.
What is a normal ceiling height in both units?
Modern standard ceilings run 2.4 m = 7.9 ft (the US "8-foot ceiling" is 2.44 m). Older European apartments often have 3 m = 9.8 ft; anything above 3.4 m / 11 ft reads as loft-like.
Why do divers and pilots both need this conversion?
Aviation altitudes are flown in feet nearly worldwide (a cruising altitude of 35,000 ft is 10,668 m), while scuba depths are metric in most of the world — a 18 m certification depth is 59 ft, and the 40 m recreational limit is 131 ft. Both fields keep the "wrong" unit alive in metric countries.
