A pictorial representation of an approximate length of one foot

Foot (ft) — A unit of length in the U.S. customary and Imperial systems. Since 1959, the international foot is defined exactly by the metric system: 1 ft = 0.3048 m. Abbreviations: ft, ′. System: U.S. customary/Imperial. In SI terms: 1 ft = 0.3048 m exactly.

Meter (m) — The SI base unit of length, defined via a fixed speed of light in vacuum. Abbreviation: m. System: SI. In U.S. customary terms: 1 m = 3.280839895 ft (derived from 1 ft = 0.3048 m).

Conversion formula

meters = feet × 0.3048.
