What does this tool do?
Step count becomes distance once you know how far each step carries you. This calculator multiplies steps by stride length and converts the result into kilometres or miles, with walking time as a bonus.
The Formula
Distance (m) = Steps × Stride length (m); Distance (km) = Distance (m) ÷ 1,000Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal stride length?
A typical adult walking stride is around 0.65–0.80 m, with taller people usually taking longer steps. A measured average over 10–20 steps is more accurate.
Do fitness trackers use the same stride?
They often estimate stride from height and adjust with GPS. Two devices can differ by several percent, especially at different speeds.
