Cubic Meters to Feet

Multiply cubic meters by 35.3147. 1 m³ = 35.315 ft³. For example, a room that is 50 m³ = 1,765.7 ft³. The converter handles both directions for volume calculations.

One cubic meter is a cube 1m × 1m × 1m, equal to 1,000 liters or 264.2 US gallons. It is roughly the volume of a large refrigerator. In cubic feet, it equals 35.315 ft³.

Shipping containers, room volumes for HVAC sizing, concrete and gravel orders, swimming pool capacity, and international trade. Shipping often uses cubic meters; US construction uses cubic feet or cubic yards.

Volume = Length × Width × Height. A room 5m × 4m × 2.5m = 50 m³ = 1,766 ft³. The converter can also calculate volume from dimensions in mixed units (meters and feet).

Cubic feet measure volume (1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft). Board feet measure lumber (1 ft × 1 ft × 1 inch = 1/12 cubic foot). 1 cubic foot = 12 board feet. The converter handles both units.
