Unit Converters
Area Converter
Area: area Converter converts between area units — square metres, square feet, acres and hectares — through a square-metre base. Worked through below with real figures, and the calculator repeats the working on your own inputs — free, on-device, instant.
Want to convert an area measurement between units such as square metres, square feet, acres and hectares? Area Converter does it from your value plus the source and target units and shows the converted area in the unit you choose clearly, with everything calculated in your browser.
Square feet and acres use the international foot (0.3048 m). Regional land units vary: this converter uses bigha = 2508.38 m², gunta = 1/40 acre, marla = 272.25 ft², kanal = 20 marla and dismil = 1/100 acre. Check the local definition before using a regional result.
About this calculator
Area is easiest to get wrong in the setup, not the arithmetic. Area Converter converts between area units — square metres, square feet, acres and hectares — through a square-metre base. It matters whenever the same quantity is expressed in two systems and a wrong factor silently breaks the answer. The worked example on this page (To convert 2 acres to square feet, multiply by 43,560: 2 × 43,560 = 87,120 sq ft . A square metre is about 10.764 square feet, so 100 m² ≈ 1,076 sq ft.) shows the full substitution; the calculator above runs the same working on your own numbers, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Technical notes
Area Converter converts between area units — square metres, square feet, acres and hectares — through a square-metre base.
Conversions use standard reference factors; for trade or engineering tolerances keep more decimal places than the display shows.
All arithmetic runs in your browser using double-precision floating point, so extreme inputs may show tiny rounding differences.
Worked example
