Meter Converter

Meter Converter is a straightforward and easy-to-use application that facilitates a basic workspace for performing conversions between meters and feet. It's particularly handy when you don't have an active Internet connection to look up this information online.

The downloaded setup file gets unpacked quickly and with minimum effort on your behalf. However, to get the tool up and running, it's necessary to download and install .NET Framework unless you have have it (modern Windows versions have Microsoft's software framework integrated). By the look of the interface, it's quite evident that Meter Converter hasn't received updates for a long time. Nonetheless, it has a single window that shows all options, making it very easy to figure out how it works.

There are two ways of converting feet to meters or vice versa. You can either type or paste the numerical values of a unit in its box and click on the dedicated button, or click and drag a slider to get the conversion results in real time.

Worth noting is that the application accepts a lot of digits, thus enabling you to perform accurate meters-to-feet or feet-to-meters conversions. The task can be reset by just clicking a button.

Besides the lack of richer options and configuration settings, whose upside is that they permit fast and uncomplicated operations, the tool has other downsides. For example, although its window can be resized by clicking and dragging its margins or corners, the GUI elements do not increase or decrease to fit the new window.

Aside from aesthetics, this makes it difficult to read conversion results since numbers made out of many digits are not visible in the tiny boxes. A workaround is to double-click inside a box to select the whole number and copy it via the Ctrl+C hotkey and dedicated option in the context menu.

Meter Converter provides users with a simple mode of turning meet into meters and vice versa, but there are many free utilities with richer features out there designed for the same purpose.
