About Height-Weight Converter
One value in, every notation out
Enter a height once and pick its unit, then do the same for weight. Every other notation is derived from that single value: centimetres, metres, inches and feet + inches for height; kilograms, grams, pounds, ounces and stones + pounds for weight. Because each measurement has one source value, switching units never nudges the number the way two panels writing back into each other would.
Paste an English profile and read it in metric
Player profiles, roster pages and product listings state body measurements only in feet, inches and pounds. Paste the line as it is written and the tool lists each field it recognises — height, weight, wingspan, standing reach — with the metric value and, when a baseline has been entered, how far each one is from that baseline. Fields it cannot read are reported rather than silently dropped, and it never guesses which field an unlabelled second measurement belongs to.
When this comes in handy
Reading a roster or draft write-up: NBA, NFL and MLB profiles list height, weight, wingspan and standing reach in feet, inches and pounds, and this page recognises all four fields at once. British sources: UK media and boxing divisions state weight in stones, so 12 st 4 lb is read the same as 210 lbs. Filling in an overseas form: a visa application, health check sheet, gym membership or race entry that asks for feet and inches gets the exact string to copy. Shopping from an overseas site: bike frames, snowboards and clothing charts sized by body measurements can be checked in centimetres and kilograms before ordering. American fitness content: programmes and logs written in pounds convert to the kilograms your gym actually uses.
Rounded reference conversion, not health advice
Height conversion uses 1 foot = 12 inches and 1 inch = 2.54 cm; weight conversion uses 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg, 1 stone = 14 lb. Compound notations are rounded to whole inches and whole pounds, the way they are normally written, and the rounding is applied to the total before it is split — so a value just under six feet reads as 6' 0", never as 5' 12". This page does not calculate BMI, body composition, medical targets, or fitness recommendations.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
How do I convert centimeters to feet and inches?
Type the height in the height row and leave the unit on centimetres. The feet + inches row updates immediately, using 1 inch = 2.54 cm and rounding to whole inches, the way feet and inches are normally written.
How do I convert kilograms to pounds?
Type the weight in the weight row with the unit on kilograms. The pounds row updates immediately, using 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg. The stones + pounds row is there too, for profiles written in British units.
Can I convert from US units back to metric units?
Yes. Switch the unit selector to inches, pounds, ounces, feet + inches or stones + pounds, and type the value in that notation — 5'9" and 12 st 4 lb are both accepted. The metric rows update immediately.
Does this tool calculate BMI or upload my measurements?
No. This page only converts height and weight units; it does not calculate BMI or provide health advice. All values stay in your browser and are not uploaded.
Which fields does the profile reader recognise?
Height, weight, wingspan and standing reach, written with an explicit imperial unit — 6'11", 6 ft 11 in, 6-11, 250 lbs or 12 st 4 lb. A value with no field name is taken as height or weight based on how it is written, but only for the first one of each; a second unlabelled measurement is listed without being assigned to a field. Anything it cannot read is shown as unrecognised rather than dropped, and a field name it does not know keeps its original label.
How do I read an NBA or NFL player profile in centimetres?
Copy the line as it appears on the roster or draft page and paste it in. A line reading Height 7 ft 4 in, Weight 210 lbs, Wingspan 8 ft 0 in comes back as 223.5 cm, 95.3 kg and 243.8 cm, one row per field. Enter a height and weight under Numbers first and each row also shows the difference from that baseline, which is usually what makes the figures mean something.
