Steps to Distance Converter and Distance to Steps

This tool lets you convert steps into kilometers (or meters) and, conversely, turn a distance into a number of steps. Just enter either the number of steps or the distance: the other value is calculated automatically.

Choose your profile (adult, child, dog) to adapt the stride length to the calculation.

Why use this step converter?

Tracking your physical activity by counting your steps is a popular way to stay in shape. However, knowing the distance covered can be more meaningful than the number of steps.

This converter helps you visualize your effort by turning your steps into kilometers or meters, and vice versa.

Reference data for step length

Step length varies with body type. On average, an adult of average height takes steps of about 0.74 m (2.4 ft), while a child takes steps of about 0.40 m. For dogs, the step length ranges from 0.15 m for a small dog to 0.45 m for a large dog. These figures are used to perform the conversions in the tool.

Record and track your conversions

The Save button lets you record your conversions in a history at the bottom of the page. You can export your results in CSV or PDF format.

Going further with distance conversion

Once your steps are converted to meters or kilometers, you can convert that distance into other units, including miles:
