cm to feet and inches chart
Every height from 140 to 210 cm in feet and inches, with the share of US men and women each height is taller than. Pick a height for the full comparison.
Divide centimetres by 2.54 for inches, then by 12 for feet. For example, 175 cm is 68.9 inches, shown here as 5'9". Pick any row for how that height compares with US and UK averages, other countries and growth charts, or use the converter for any value.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert centimetres to feet and inches?
Divide the centimetres by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12 for feet and keep the remainder as inches. For example, 180 cm is 70.87 inches, which is 5 feet 10.9 inches, shown on this site as 5'11".
How does this chart round heights?
To the nearest half inch, which is about as precise as a feet-and-inches measurement is normally read. The inches column gives the unrounded figure.
What does "share shorter" mean?
It is the estimated share of US adults of that sex who are shorter than the height in that row, using the CDC/NHANES adult reference and a normal-curve approximation. It is an estimate, not a medical assessment.
