Unit Descriptions
1 Step:
The distance covered by a single step assuming a stride length of 0.762 meters or 2.5 feet. Although stride length will vary by person and activity this may be useful in estimating distance traveled from the reading on a pedometer.
1 Kilometer:
1 Kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. Meters is the SI base unit of length. The prefix kilo, abbreviated "k", indicates one thousand. 1 km = 1000 m.

About Steps  to Kilometers Conversion

Steps are a count of movement, while kilometers (km) are metric units of distance equal to 1,000 meters. This converter estimates distance with the same default used on the related steps pages: 1 step is about 0.000762 kilometers. That is the same as saying 1 step is about 0.762 meters.

This is a good quick estimate for walking distance, but it is not exact. For a better personal answer, use the Steps to Distance Calculator. It can estimate stride from your height, use a custom stride length, calibrate from a known distance, and save walking goals or common routes for return visits.

Example Calculation

To convert steps to kilometers, multiply the number of steps by 0.000762.

For example: 10,000 steps x 0.000762 kilometers per step = 7.62 kilometers.

Using This for Walking Goals

Kilometers are useful for setting walking goals because they scale well from daily walks to monthly totals. A simple conversion tells you the distance for one step count. The calculator goes further by letting you save a goal, add today's steps, and see progress over time.

Cautions

The kilometer is a defined metric unit, but the step estimate depends on stride length. A taller person, a shorter person, a runner, and a slow walker may all cover different distances with the same number of steps. If the exact distance matters, use a measured course or calibrate your own stride in the calculator.
