MM to Inches Converter: Precise Measurement Conversion with Fraction Option
Convert millimeters to inches fast: divide by 25.4—every 1 mm equals 0.03937 in (NIST SP 811, 2020). Enter any positive mm value, pick decimal or fraction output, and hit Convert. A 57 mm entry returns 2.24 in or 2 ¼ in; 254.3 mm shows 10.012 in. Free, mobile-friendly tool—ideal for shop, lab, or class.

How to use the tool
Millimeters (mm): Type the length you have—e.g., 57 mm for a small part or 254.3 mm for a long board.
Decimal places: Choose 0–6 to control rounding; 3 places suits engineering prints, 0 suits rough carpentry.
Display as fraction: Tick to see inches as mixed number. Pick a denominator (½, ¼, … ¹⁄₃₂) that matches your ruler.
Convert: Press Enter; your result appears instantly in decimal and, if selected, fraction format.
What is the conversion factor from millimeters to inches?
One inch equals 25.4 millimeters by international agreement since 1959 (NIST SP 811, 2020).
How accurate is the tool?
The calculator rounds using JavaScript’s toFixed, preserving up to six decimals—±0.000001 in resolution, well inside common shop tolerances (ISO 2768-m, 1989).
Why offer fractional inches?
Woodworkers and builders read rulers marked in ¹⁄₁₆ in or ¹⁄₃₂ in; fractions map digital results to those scales for faster layout (Fine Woodworking, 2021).
Can I enter sub-millimeter values?
Yes. Input accepts 0.01 mm increments, letting you convert micromachining specs such as 0.35 mm to 0.0138 in.
What range does the form handle?
The number field allows 0–9 999 mm, covering everything from watch gears to door frames.
Which denominator should I pick?
Choose the smallest unit your measuring tool displays; “Use the finest graduations available to minimize rounding errors” (Starrett Steel Rule Catalog, 2020).
