Feet to Yards Converter

Advertisement

Convert between feet and yards in either direction.

How it works

A yard is defined as exactly 3 feet, so 1 yd = 3 ft. Enter a value in either field and the other updates instantly.

What this does not include

This is distinct from this site’s inches-to-yard converter, which handles a different length-unit pair.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter a value in feet or yards.
  2. The other field updates automatically.

Where are yards commonly used instead of feet?

American football field markings, some fabric measurements, and golf distances in certain countries commonly use yards rather than feet.

How many yards are in a football field?

100 yards between the goal lines (300 feet), plus the two 10-yard end zones — a familiar real-world reference for the feet-to-yards relationship.

Is this conversion exact?

Yes — since both units are defined within the same US customary system with an exact 3-foot-per-yard relationship, there’s no rounding involved.

L. Berg writes the measurement and unit-conversion calculators, from everyday length and weight conversions to the less obvious ones where definitions differ between systems. The work centres on getting conversion factors exactly right and flagging the places where a "standard" unit quietly means two different things. Precision here is mostly a matter of refusing to round early.

Particular attention goes to units whose definitions differ between measurement systems, where a plausible-looking factor can be quietly wrong.
