How to use this inches to cm chart

Find the inch value and read the centimetres beside it. Every value is exact, because an inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm — the chart only rounds to two decimals for readability. The half-inch table covers sizes like 5.5″ and 7.5″, the fraction table covers tape-measure marks down to 1/16″, and the last table converts longer lengths to metres.

For any value not listed, use the converter at the top of the page, or open a value page such as 6 in, 12 in or 36 in for a full explanation.

Printing the chart

Use Print this chart to print it or save it as a PDF — menus and buttons are hidden on paper. A printed inches to cm conversion chart is useful for sewing patterns, woodworking plans, school projects and online shopping. For the reverse direction see the cm to inches chart.
