Why do I need to convert height to inches?
Many medical forms, fitness applications, and statistical records require height in total inches. It's also useful for calculations involving height, such as BMI or equipment sizing.
How do I convert inches back to feet and inches?
Divide the total inches by 12 to get the feet (round down to the nearest whole number), and the remainder will be the inches. Our calculator shows this conversion automatically for verification.
