Height comparision FAQ
Quick answers about comparing heights, units and accuracy. For measuring tips, see the height measuring guide.
What is a height comparision chart?
A height comparision chart shows two or more people, characters or objects standing side by side on one ruler, drawn to the same scale. It turns numbers like 5′6″ and 6′1″ into a picture, so you can see exactly how much taller one person is than another.
How do I compare my height with someone else?
Type your height in the box at the top of this page and press “Add me”, then add the other person’s name and height. Both appear on the chart instantly, and the table under the chart shows the difference in centimetres, feet and inches, and as a percentage.
How do I compare my height with a celebrity?
Search the library by name, for example “Tom Cruise” or “Zendaya”, and tap the result to add them next to you. For photos and drag-and-drop, use the celebrity height comparison board, where you can line up famous people and stand between them.
Can I enter height in feet and inches or centimetres?
Yes. Type it however you like: 5′9″, 5 ft 9, 5'9, 69 in, 175 cm or 1.75 m. Switch the whole chart between centimetres and feet and inches with one button; the differences table switches with it.
How tall is 5′7″ in cm, and 170 cm in feet?
5′7″ is 170.2 cm and 170 cm is about 5′7″. One inch is exactly 2.54 cm and one foot is 30.48 cm, so 6 feet is 182.9 cm and 180 cm is about 5′11″. The chart converts every height for you automatically.
How accurate is the height comparision tool?
Every figure is drawn from the floor to the top of the head at one shared scale, so a 10 cm difference always looks like 10 cm. Heights you type are used exactly. Library heights come from official rosters, record books or commonly reported figures, and each person’s page says which.
How many people can I compare at once?
Up to 50 on one chart. Add them one by one, search the library, or use “Paste a list” with one person per line, like “Sam, 5′11″” or “Mia 162 cm, woman”. Ready-made presets fill the chart with a group in one tap.
Can I compare anime characters, objects and animals?
Yes. The library includes anime and fictional characters with official heights, such as Goku, Luffy and Gojo, plus everyday objects and animals like a door, a fridge, a car, a basketball hoop and a giraffe, so you can see heights against familiar things.
What is a normal height difference for a couple?
In the US the average man is 175.3 cm and the average woman 161.3 cm, a gap of 14 cm or about 5.5 inches. Most couples fall within 5–20 cm of each other, and there is no right difference. The couple height calculator shows yours to scale.
What is the average height of a man and a woman?
Worldwide, adult men average about 171 cm (5′7″) and women about 159 cm (5′2.5″). In the US the averages are 175.3 cm (5′9″) and 161.3 cm (5′3.5″), and in the Netherlands, among the tallest countries, about 184 cm and 170 cm.
Do my photos get uploaded?
No. Photos are resized and trimmed inside your browser and never leave your device. They are not saved with your chart, and share links contain only names and heights, never photos.
How do I make a photo line up with the right height?
Use a straight-on, full-length photo from head to feet. Plain or transparent backgrounds are trimmed automatically, so the top of the head and the soles sit exactly on the height line. Choose “face” to put a portrait on a silhouette instead.
Can I download or share my height comparision?
Download a sharp PNG at twice screen resolution, or a vector SVG for print. “Copy link” creates a link that rebuilds the same chart for anyone who opens it, without an account.
Is the height comparision tool free? Does it work on my phone?
It is completely free with nothing to sign up for, and it works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. Your last chart is remembered in your browser so you can come back to it.
About this height comparision tool
Height comparision sounds simple until you try it. Two numbers like 5′6″ and 6′1″ tell you who is taller, but they do not show what that gap looks like when two people stand side by side. This free height comparision chart draws everyone on the same ruler, from the floor to the top of the head, so a 7 cm difference looks exactly like 7 cm. Put yourself next to a friend, your partner, your kids, a favourite actor, an anime character or even a door frame, and see the difference instantly.
The tool runs entirely in your browser. There is no sign-up, no download and no paywall, and it works the same on a phone, a tablet or a laptop.
What you can compare
Add up to 50 people or things to one chart. Type any name and height, or search the built-in library of 160 entries:
- Celebrities: actors, singers, K-pop idols, Bollywood stars and public figures, most with a photo.
- Athletes: NBA players, footballers, tennis players and fighters, using their official roster heights.
- Anime and fictional characters: Goku, Luffy, Gojo, Naruto, Levi, Pokémon and Star Wars characters, using official guidebook heights.
- Averages: the typical man and woman in the US, the Netherlands, India and worldwide.
- Objects and animals: a standard door, a fridge, a car, a basketball hoop, a giraffe and a house cat, for a sense of everyday scale.
If you only care about famous faces, the celebrity height comparison board lets you drag people with their photos onto a floor and shuffle them by hand.
How to use the height comparision chart
- Type your height in the box at the top and press “Add me”. You appear on the chart straight away.
- Add more people with the “Add a person or thing” form, or search the library by name, such as “Messi” or “Zendaya”.
- Choose a man, woman or object figure for each entry, change its colour, and reorder people with the arrows.
- Optionally add a full-length photo to any person, so the chart shows the real person instead of a silhouette.
- Read the height differences table under the chart, then download the chart or copy a link to share it.
To add a whole group at once, open “Paste a list” and enter one person per line, for example “Sam, 5′11″” or “Mia 162 cm, woman”. Ready-made presets such as an average couple, the Marvel cast, NBA giants or anime heroes fill the chart with one tap.
Accurate to scale
Every figure is drawn from the same scale. The tallest entry sets the size of the chart and everyone else is drawn in exact proportion, so a 150 cm person is precisely half the height of a 300 cm wall. Each figure gets a dashed line at its height that runs back to the ruler, which makes differences of one or two centimetres easy to read. Labels stay a fixed, readable size however many people you add; when a line-up grows wider than your screen, the chart scrolls sideways instead of shrinking the text. Use the zoom buttons to look closely at a small gap or pull back to see a long line-up.
Feet, inches and centimetres
Type a height in whatever form you know it: 175 cm, 1.75 m, 5′9″, 5 ft 9, 5'9 or 69 in. The tool understands all of them and keeps the value exactly as entered. Switch the whole chart between centimetres and feet and inches with one button. One inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so 170 cm is about 5′7″, 180 cm is about 5′11″ and 6 feet is 182.9 cm. Feet and inches are shown to the nearest half inch.
Your photos stay private
When you add a photo, your browser resizes it and trims plain or transparent borders, so the top of the head and the soles of the feet line up with the true height. All of this happens on your device: photos are never uploaded to a server and are never included in share links. For the best result, use a straight-on, full-length photo taken from about waist height, standing on a flat floor.
Download and share
Download the chart as a sharp PNG image, ready for messages and social media, or as an SVG file that stays crisp at any size for print and design work. “Copy link” creates a link that rebuilds the same height comparision for anyone who opens it, with names and heights only.
Why people compare heights
Height comparison is useful far beyond curiosity. Couples use it to see their height difference before photos or a wedding, and to check how heels change the picture. Parents compare their children with each other and with average heights. Cosplayers, writers and artists check how characters should stand next to each other. Fans compare themselves with athletes and actors, and shoppers check furniture, doors and cars against their own height before buying.
The couple height difference calculator covers partners in detail, and the anime height comparison lists official character heights.
Celebrity heights you can trust
Every person in the library has their own page with a chart, the height in centimetres, feet and metres, and the kind of source behind it. Athletes use official league or club rosters, record holders use Guinness World Records measurements, and actors and singers use the most widely reported figure, which we label as such because interviews often round up. Start with Tom Cruise’s height, Lionel Messi’s height or Goku’s height, browse the full heights A–Z, or read where our heights come from.
Tips for an accurate comparison
- Measure barefoot against a wall in the morning; you are about 1 cm shorter by the evening. The guide on how to measure your height explains each step.
- Add a second entry in shoes if you want to compare outfits: most shoes add 2–3 cm and heels 5–10 cm.
- Remember that celebrity heights from interviews can be generous by a centimetre or two.
