Distance Converter

Every conversion uses precise standard factors (e.g., 1 mile = 1.60934 km) — enter a value in any unit and every other unit updates instantly.

Kilometers and meters are metric units used worldwide; miles, feet, and yards are common in the US and UK. This converter bridges both systems.

Kilometers to Miles

1 kilometer = 0.621371 miles. 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers.

Meters to Feet

1 meter = 3.28084 feet. 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.

Inches to Centimeters

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. 1 centimeter = 0.393701 inches.

Yards to Meters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters. 1 meter = 1.093613 yards.

Yards to Miles

1 mile = 1,760 yards exactly — the definition used to convert between the two.

These are official, fixed distances rather than approximations — useful reference points when converting a race or route length.

A nautical mile (1.852 km, defined as one minute of latitude) is a different unit from the statute mile this converter otherwise uses — it's the standard distance unit in aviation and maritime navigation. 1 nautical mile = 1.150779 statute miles.

Results are shown to varying decimal precision depending on scale: two decimal places for values of 100 or more, four decimal places between 1 and 100, and six decimal places below 1 — enough precision for small unit conversions (like inches or yards) without cluttering large results (like kilometers or miles) with digits that don't matter in practice.
