Yards to Feet Converter (yd to ft)
1 yd = 3 ft exactly. Convert yards to feet, and to feet and inches, for football, cricket, fabric cuts and British road-sign distances.
Foot (ft) = Yard (yd) × 3
Yard (yd): The international yard is exactly 0.9144 metres, or 3 feet. It is used in the US and UK for fabric, sports fields such as American football and golf, and short distances on British road signs.
Foot (ft): The international foot is exactly 0.3048 metres, or 12 inches. This converter uses that definition, not the former US survey foot of 1200/3937 metre used in some historical survey records.
| Yard (yd) | Foot (ft) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 3 |
| 5 | 15 |
| 10 | 30 |
| 25 | 75 |
| 50 | 150 |
| 100 | 300 |
Three feet make a yard, and since 1959 that yard has been exactly 0.9144 m, so this conversion is plain multiplication by 3. People reach for it when a sports field marking, a fabric pattern or a British road sign gives yards and the tape measure or plan is in feet. Whole yards always give a whole number of feet.
Fractions of a yard are where mistakes creep in. Fabric is cut in eighths and quarters of a yard, and an eighth of a yard is 4.5 inches rather than a round number of feet, so the chart gives every answer in feet and inches as well.
How to use this tool
- Type a value in the Yard box to see it in feet, or type in the Foot box to convert the other way.

- Check the charts below for common values; for other units, open the Length converter.
Formula
Foot (ft) = Yard (yd) × 3
Yard (yd) = Foot (ft) × 0.333333333333
Both factors come from exact definitions: 1 foot = 0.333333333333 yards and 1 yard = 3 feet (shown to 12 significant digits).
Example
Two conversions worked with the same factors the converter uses:
15 yd × 3 = 45 ft
100 ft × 0.333333333333 ≈ 33.3333 yd

Quick mental estimate
Triple the yards: 22 yd → 66 ft. For part-yards, each quarter yard is 9 inches, so 1.75 yd works out to 5 ft 3 in. Multiplying by 3 is exact, so there is no error to correct.
Use the converter or the charts when the exact figure matters.
The two units
Yard (yd): The international yard is exactly 0.9144 metres, or 3 feet. It is used in the US and UK for fabric, sports fields such as American football and golf, and short distances on British road signs.
Foot (ft): The international foot is exactly 0.3048 metres, or 12 inches. This converter uses that definition, not the former US survey foot of 1200/3937 metre used in some historical survey records.
Frequently asked questions
How many feet are in 100 yards?
Exactly 300 ft, the length of an American football field between the goal lines. Add the two 10-yard end zones and the full field is 360 ft.
How long is a cricket pitch in feet?
66 ft, because the pitch is 22 yd between the stumps. That length is also one chain, the old surveyor's unit of 66 ft; ten chains make a furlong.
Is a yard of fabric the same length everywhere?
A yard is 36 inches in the US, the UK and Canada alike. Fabric sold by the meter comes in longer units of about 39.37 inches, so a pattern asking for 2 yards needs about 1.83 m.
How precise is the result?
The converter uses the exact definitions above with browser floating-point arithmetic and shows up to 12 significant digits. The charts round to four decimal places for reading.
