How the height comparison works

Every figure starts on one baseline. Its drawn height is its entered height multiplied by the same scale factor, so changing a figure never secretly enlarges a shorter neighbor.

What is measured

Only vertical height is scaled. Outlines are symbols, not portraits; their widths and proportions are not factual measurements. Uploaded pictures use their visible bounds, so align character artwork with the top and bottom of the height you enter.

Keep the measurement definition

Person listings can describe shoes, bare feet or a rounded roster value. Buildings can use roof, spire or tip. Mountain summit heights are measured from sea level. The height versus elevation guide explains which comparisons share a starting point.

Conversions and precision

One inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters. One foot contains 12 inches. The chart calculates before rounding, while published values retain their original unit and display precision. Converted values say “about” when appropriate. Convert your own height or calculate a two-height difference.

When listings disagree

We retain supported alternatives on the same entity page. A more recent date alone does not establish a better measurement. Compare the source context, then choose the value you want to draw. Changing the number makes it a custom figure and removes the source attribution from that edit.

Using the published measurements

The measurement downloads retain original units, source context and update dates. The footer’s Sources page explains the publications and reuse terms.
