How to Switch Between cm and Inches in Your Size Chart

Set cm or inches on a Size Chart. Shoppers default to inches in the US and cm elsewhere, and can still toggle.

Written by Ben Nyberg

You're in full control of the units on your size charts, and shoppers can switch between cm and inches on the storefront. You fill in one unit — AI Frame calculates the other. Here's how it works.

How to set the unit

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Apps → AI Frame – Virtual Try-On, then click Size Chart and open your chart.

  2. Next to the size table, choose cm or in — whichever matches the measurements you're entering.

  3. Fill in your values in that unit and save. Switching the control converts the numbers already in the table, so you don't re-type them.

CSV import detects inches when that's what the file uses, instead of forcing cm. Photo and PDF import set a unit label only — they do not convert the numbers, so pick the unit that matches the table you uploaded.

💡 A little tip: select the unit you actually measure in and enter those exact numbers — that keeps the chart precise, and the conversions stay accurate too.

What shoppers see

The size chart on your storefront shows a cm / inches switch. The first unit they see follows their location: inches for shoppers in the US (and Liberia or Myanmar), centimetres everywhere else. After they toggle, we remember that choice. Estimate my size uses the same default (cm / kg or ft-in / lbs). You still enter one unit in the editor — they can always switch.
