mm to feet converter instantly converts millimeters into feet
fast, accurate, and ideal for construction, design, and measurement work.
It also shows the equivalent value in inches for precise, dual-unit results every time.
What Is the Formula for mm to Feet?
The mm to feet conversion formula allows you to easily convert millimeters into feet by dividing the millimeter value by 304.8.
This is because one foot equals exactly 304.8 millimeters. The conversion is especially useful in engineering, design, and construction where metric data must be converted to imperial units.
📘 MM Formula: Feet = Millimeters ÷ 304.8
or equivalently → Millimeters = Feet × 304.8
Example: 1000 mm = 3.28084 ft = 39.37 in — automatically calculated using the mm to feet converter.
This means 1000 millimeters equals just over 3 feet 3.37 inches, which matches the tool’s conversion precisely.
💡 Is 300 mm 1 foot? Not quite — 300 mm = 0.984 ft, slightly under a full foot. You need about 304.8 mm to make exactly one foot.

mm to Feet and Inches Conversion
The mm to feet and inches conversion gives you a full breakdown of any metric value into feet + inch format.
After converting millimeters into feet, the remaining decimal part is multiplied by 12 to get inches — including fractions for precision.
📘 Formula:
Feet = Millimeters ÷ 304.8
Inches = (Feet – Whole Feet) × 12
📏 Example: 1200 mm
→ 1200 ÷ 304.8 = 3.937 ft
→ 0.937 × 12 = 11.244 in
✅ Final result: 3 ft 11.24 in
mm to Square Feet vs mm² to Square Feet
It’s important to distinguish between mm to square feet and mm² to square feet.
The first converts a linear length (millimeters) into feet, while the second converts an area (square millimeters) into square feet.
Mixing them leads to incorrect results, especially when calculating tile or surface coverage.
📘 Formulas:
• Linear: Feet = Millimeters ÷ 304.8
• Area: Square Feet = Square Millimeters ÷ 92903.04
📏 Example – 600×600 mm to square feet:
Step 1 → Convert millimeters to meters: 600 mm = 0.6 m.
Step 2 → Area = 0.6 × 0.6 = 0.36 m².
Step 3 → Convert square meters to square feet: 0.36 × 10.7639 = 3.874 sq ft.
✅ Final result: A 600×600 mm tile covers approximately 3.87 square feet.
💡 Tip: Always check whether you’re working with length (mm) or area (mm²).
The difference changes the result by thousands — essential in flooring and construction estimates.
