About this tool
The world uses two major measurement systems that will likely coexist for decades: the metric system, used by most countries, and the imperial system, still standard in the United States for everyday measurements. Converting between them is a daily necessity for millions of people — anyone shopping internationally, following a recipe from another country, reading a US technical document, or checking the specs of an imported product.
Length Converter covers the full range of length units: from the kilometer and mile used for travel distances, through the everyday meter, foot, centimeter and inch, down to the millimeter used in engineering and manufacturing, and further into scientific territory with micrometers (µm), nanometers (nm), ångströms (Å), and astronomical units (AU) and light-years used in space science.
All conversion factors are based on internationally standardized definitions. The inch-to-centimeter relationship (1 in = 2.54 cm exactly) has been fixed by international agreement since 1959. The meter is defined by the speed of light. Results are computed in real time as you type and displayed to four decimal places — sufficient for the vast majority of practical applications, from daily use to most engineering contexts.
