The HeightFast Editorial Team

Editorial · HeightFast

HeightFast is maintained by an in-house editorial team that covers a height converter. The writing and the tool share the same maintainers.

Articles here keep to Height Conversion rather than the site in general. The tool it documents converts height between feet and inches, centimetres and metres and shows how the figure compares to growth percentiles and published averages, and the writing follows the same ground: converting a height for a form that wants one unit, checking where a child sits on a growth chart, comparing a height against published averages.

Before anything is published it is reviewed for correctness of method and for tone. Nothing here should read as medical, financial or legal advice; where a subject touches those areas the article limits itself to the calculation.

If something does not add up, support@heightfast.com reaches the same group that writes the articles, and corrections are made on the page rather than kept in a reply.
