Frequently asked questions
Is 5.5 feet the same as 5 feet 5 inches?
No. The decimal 0.5 foot equals 6 inches, so 5.5 feet is 5 feet 6 inches. Mixed feet and inches have separate input fields.
Why can a rounded value gain a foot?
If the remaining inches round to 12, the displayed result carries one foot and shows zero remaining inches. The underlying calculation keeps its precision.
Does this tool store my height?
No. The input and result stay in the current page's memory. Copying writes the result to your clipboard only when you choose it.
