About the units

Foot (ft)

Exactly 0.3048 m, or 12 inches. Feet are used in the US for height, room dimensions and aircraft altitude; a standard ceiling is 8 ft.

Micrometer (µm)

One millionth of a metre, often called a micron. Human hair is roughly 50–100 µm across, and filter and particle sizes are given in micrometres. One micrometer equals 0.000001 meters (m).

Frequently asked questions

How many micrometers are in one foot?

There are 304,800 micrometers in one foot, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert feet to micrometers?

Multiply the number of feet by 304,800. For example, 10 ft × 304,800 = 3,048,000 µm.

How many feet are in one micrometer?

One micrometer equals 0.000003280839895 feet. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 304,800.

What is 10 feet in micrometers?

10 ft = 3,048,000 µm.

Is this ft to µm converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
