Everything is drawn in your browser. Names and heights are not uploaded or saved; a shared link carries them in the part of the address after the # sign, which browsers do not send to the server. Figures are simple shapes scaled to the heights you enter, so they show the difference in height, not anyone’s build.
How to convert height
To go from feet and inches to centimeters, multiply the feet by 12, add the inches and multiply the total by 2.54. To go back, divide centimeters by 2.54 to get inches, then divide by 12: the whole number is feet and the remainder is inches.
- 5′ 6″ = 66 in × 2.54 = 167.6 cm.
- 180 cm ÷ 2.54 = 70.9 in = 5′ 10.9″, usually written 5′ 11″.
- 5.5 feet is 5′ 6″, not 5′ 5″, because half a foot is 6 inches.
Common questions

Exactly 2.54. The inch has been defined as 25.4 mm since 1959.
Why does 180 cm show as 5′ 11″?
180 cm is 70.87 inches. The converter rounds feet and inches to the nearest half inch, so it shows 5′ 11″.
