What is an area converter?

An area converter converts m², ft², acres, Marla, Kanal, and 25 plot units—or calculates area from length × width—with presets, history, share links, and size comparisons.

Enter a value in any area unit and see equivalent amounts in every supported unit at once. The tool converts through square metres as the base unit, using internationally accepted factors (for example 1 acre = 4,046.86 m² and 1 ft² = 0.092903 m²).

Use it for real estate listings (m² vs ft²), farmland (acres vs hectares), floor plans, and land surveys. It converts two-dimensional area only—not length, volume, or pressure (use Length Converter or Volume Converter for those).

All calculations run locally in your browser; values you enter are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.

Area conversions pass through square metres: target = (value × fromFactor) ÷ toFactor.

Quick answers

Concise answers for common searches — definitions, steps, and comparisons.

How many square feet in a square metre?

1 m² = 10.7639 ft². Multiply square metres by ~10.76 to get square feet.

Is the area converter private?

Yes. Conversions run locally in your browser; values are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.

How area conversion works

Each unit is stored as a factor relative to the square metre. Converting multiplies your input by the source factor to reach m², then divides by the destination factor.

Formula

result = value × (fromUnitFactor ÷ toUnitFactor)

Assumptions

  • Factors follow common SI and US survey definitions used in everyday conversion tools.
  • Results are suitable for planning and listings—not legal land survey certification.

Limitations

  • Bigha and Marla sizes vary by state—this tool uses documented regional defaults with notes.
  • Does not convert linear dimensions (metres vs feet)—use Length Converter.

How to use Area Converter

  1. Enter an area value

    Type a number in the From column and select the unit (e.g. 100 Square Meter or 2.5 Acre).

  2. Pick a target unit

    Click a unit in the To column to highlight the primary result. All other units show equivalent values simultaneously.

  3. Swap or copy

    Use Swap Units to reverse direction, or Copy Result for listings, spreadsheets, or notes.

  4. Or calculate plot area

    Switch to Plot size mode, enter length and width (ft, m, or yd), and read area in Marla, Kanal, ft², or m².

Area Converter examples

Apartment size for international listing

Input

85 Square Meter

Output

914.93 Square Foot · 0.0085 Hectare

European listings use m²; US listings use ft². 85 m² ≈ 915 ft² for price-per-unit comparisons.

Farmland acres to hectares

Input

100 Acre

Output

40.47 Hectare · 0.4047 Square Kilometer

US agriculture often uses acres; EU and international records use hectares. 100 acres ≈ 40.47 ha.

30×40 ft plot in Marla

Input

Plot 30 ft × 40 ft

Output

1,200 ft² · 4.41 Marla (PK) · 111.48 m²

A common residential plot size in South Asia—1,200 ft² equals about 4.4 standard Pakistan Marla.

Who uses Area Converter?

Common real-world scenarios where this tool saves time.

Real estate

Compare m² and ft² listings

Convert property sizes when comparing international listings or migrating listing data between markets.

Agriculture & land

Acres ↔ hectares for farm records

Translate US acreage to hectares for international reports, subsidies, or trade data.

Construction & design

Floor plan areas across unit systems

Convert blueprint areas between metric and imperial units for material takeoffs and specs.

Workflow guides

Step-by-step chains that connect related tools for common tasks.

From plot dimensions to area and volume

Measure length first, then area, then volume when sizing rooms or containers.

  1. Convert wall or fence length with the Length Converter .
  2. Enter floor or land area on this page.
  3. For tank or room capacity, use the Volume Converter .

ToolConvertsExample units
Area ConverterFlat surface aream², ft², acres, hectares
Length ConverterDistance / perimeterm, ft, in, miles, km
Volume ConverterThree-dimensional spaceL, m³, gal, ft³
Pressure ConverterForce per areaPa, psi, bar (not area alone)

Common mistakes to avoid

Confusing square feet with linear feet

Area is two-dimensional (ft²). For wall length or perimeter, use Length Converter instead.

Mixing area with volume units

This tool converts flat area only. For cubic metres or gallons, use Volume Converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many square feet are in a square metre?

1 square metre = 10.7639 square feet. The reverse: 1 square foot = 0.092903 m². Quick estimate: multiply m² by ~10.76 to get ft².

How many acres in a hectare?

1 hectare = 2.47105 acres. 1 acre = 0.404686 hectares. Memory aid: 1 ha ≈ 2.47 acres.

What is an acre in square feet?

1 acre = 43,560 square feet = 4,046.86 square metres. Roughly the size of a US football field without end zones.

How many square metres in a hectare?

1 hectare = 10,000 square metres (100 m × 100 m). 1 km² = 100 hectares.

How many square feet in a Marla (Pakistan)?

Standard Pakistan Marla = 272.25 ft². 1 Kanal = 20 Marla = 5,445 ft². Sizes can vary by locality—verify for legal transactions.

Which Bigha size does this tool use?

Separate entries for Uttar Pradesh (~27,000 ft²) and West Bengal (~14,400 ft²) Bigha. Other states may differ—check the unit note in the converter.

Can I calculate plot area from length and width?

Yes—use Plot size mode. Enter length and width in feet, metres, or yards; the tool calculates area in ft², m², Marla, Kanal, or any supported unit.

Are my values stored on a server?

No. All conversion math runs in your browser; inputs are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.

Privacy, accuracy, and trust

Privacy

Area values you enter stay in the browser for conversion math only.

Accuracy

Standard m²-based factors; official land surveys may use jurisdiction-specific rounding.

For planning and listings—not legal survey, tax, or cadastral certification.
