Convert Kilometers to Feet
1 kilometer is 3,280.84 ft. One kilometer is exactly 3280.83989501 feet.
One kilometer is 3280.8399 feet. To convert kilometers to feet, multiply by 3280.8399; to go the other way, divide by 3280.8399 or multiply by 3.0480 × 10^-4. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST. One thousand meters, and about 0.621 miles.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: kilometres to feet is the British spelling of the same units — the metre and the litre are spelled that way outside the United States and the quantity does not change.
How do you convert kilometers to feet? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in kilometers.
- 2.Multiply by 3280.8399 — that is how many feet fit in one kilometer.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 3280.8399, or multiply by 3.0480 × 10^-4.
Worked example: 25 kilometers to feet
- Formula
- km × 3280.8399 = ft
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 3280.8399 = 82,021 ft
- Answer
- 25 km = 82,021 ft
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a kilometer?
One thousand meters, and about 0.621 miles.
What is a foot?
Twelve inches, or exactly 0.3048 meters. Still the working unit of US construction.
How many feet are in a kilometer?
One kilometer is 3280.8399 feet. Going the other way, one foot is 3.0480 × 10^-4 kilometers. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
