Area Converter

An area converter changes a two-dimensional measurement from one unit to another, which is essential for property, land, farming, and construction work where metric and imperial units are constantly mixed. This free tool covers square meters, square feet, square yards, acres, hectares, and the larger square kilometers and square miles. Enter a value, choose the unit you have and the unit you want, and the answer updates instantly. Area factors are the squares of the corresponding length factors, and because those length definitions are exact, the area conversions are exact too. Since a foot is exactly 0.3048 meters, a square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters, which makes one square meter about 10.764 square feet. The land units are the ones people most often need help with: an acre is 43,560 square feet or about 4,047 square meters, and a hectare is exactly 10,000 square meters, which works out to about 2.471 acres. That acre-to-hectare relationship is the conversion that comes up most in real estate and agriculture, and it is easy to get backwards by hand. Typical uses include converting a home's floor area between square meters and square feet, sizing a plot of land between acres and hectares, comparing property listings written in different units, and estimating how much flooring, turf, or paint a space needs. Because the underlying factors are exact, only the displayed value is rounded for readability. Everything runs locally in your browser, privately and offline once loaded.
