Limitations
- The figures are drawn as simple silhouettes at true relative scale. They show height only, not build or proportions.
- Heights between 30 cm and 300 cm are accepted. Enter your own measured height for accurate results.
- Average heights are rounded survey figures for adults in England (about 176 cm for men and 162 cm for women, from the Health Survey for England 2022), and they change from year to year and depend on the survey method.
- People are slightly taller in the morning than in the evening, and measurements with shoes, hair or posture can differ by a centimetre or more.
- The tool compares up to 10 entries at a time and does not store anything. Your names and heights stay in your browser.
