SponsoredThis converter turns cubic inches into cubic feet (in3 to ft3). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. The section "How Many Cubic Inches in a Cubic Foot" below gives the factor and where it comes from.
Boxes, parcels and appliances are measured in inches, but shipping rates, storage units and moving trucks are quoted in cubic feet. Multiply the three sides in inches and divide once to get the cubic feet a box takes up; the section below gives the number to divide by.
The result is rounded to 6 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. Type a whole number or a decimal; the conversion table below lists common values.
How Many Cubic Inches in a Cubic Foot
There are exactly 1,728 cubic inches in a cubic foot. A cubic foot is a cube 12 inches on each side, so it holds 12 × 12 × 12 cubic inches. The same rule gives 46,656 cubic inches in a cubic yard (36 × 36 × 36).
Box Size in Inches to Cubic Feet
A box 24 by 18 by 12 inches is 5,184 cubic inches, and 5,184 ÷ 1,728 = 3 cubic feet. Divide only once, at the end: dividing each side by 12 first gives the same answer but invites rounding errors.
How to Convert Cubic Inches to Cubic Feet
