How the height comparison works
Add people to one chart, compare centimeters and feet, and read the height difference. The figures are drawn from the same scale, so a taller person is always taller on the chart.
01
Add a height
Tap Add person and enter a name, gender, and height in centimeters or feet and inches. Tap Edit above someone already on the chart to change them. One chart holds twelve people.
02
Compare centimeters and feet
The chart stores every height in centimeters and calculates feet, inches, and meters from it. Switch the chart between cm and ft / in whenever you want. Both units stay matched.
03
Read the difference and share
The number above the chart is the gap between the tallest and the shortest. Compare with a friend sends a link that asks them to add their height. Copy chart link shares this chart as it is.

Each height is stored once, in centimeters. Feet, inches, and meters are calculated from that number with 2.54 centimeters per inch. 180 cm is 5 ft 11 in. 165 cm is 5 ft 5 in. Changing the unit on the chart does not change the person.

| 152 cm | 5 ft 0 in | 1.52 m |

How the height difference is calculated
180 cm and 165 cm
180 cm is 5 ft 11 in. 165 cm is 5 ft 5 in. The difference is 15 cm (6 in).
Same scale for every figure
165 cm is 91.7% as tall on the chart as 180 cm, because both figures use one centimeter scale.
Compare more than two heights
A height comparison can hold a pair or a whole group. Add people until the chart reaches 12. The headline stays the gap between the tallest and the shortest, and every figure remains in proportion.
One shared scale
Names, centimeters, and feet sit above each figure. A taller height is always drawn taller, whether the chart has two people or 12.
The scale zooms out
Adding people raises the top line so the group still fits. The figures get smaller together. The centimeter gap between them does not change.
Edit anyone on the chart
Tap Edit above a figure to change the name, male or female drawing, or height. Remove someone when you want room for another height.

Height comparison FAQ
How do I compare two heights?
