Area Converter
Land listed in acres, a floor plan in square feet, a farm in hectares — set the unit, type the size, and every equivalent lines up.
How it works
The square meter is the anchor. Whatever you enter becomes square meters, then converts out to acres, hectares, square feet, and the rest. Change one number and the whole grid recalculates live.
Land units are where this earns its keep. An acre is 4,046.86 m², and a hectare is a clean 10,000 m² — so a hectare is about 2.47 acres. Real estate and farming quotes bounce between the two constantly.
Small-scale work leans on square feet and square inches. A square foot is 0.0929 m², and there are 144 square inches in a square foot, which is easy to forget when you're used to linear inches.
Frequently asked questions
How many square feet are in an acre?
An acre holds 43,560 square feet. It started as the area one ox team could plow in a day, which is why it's such an odd-looking number rather than a round one.
What's the difference between an acre and a hectare?
A hectare is bigger — it's 10,000 m², while an acre is 4,046.86 m². That makes one hectare about 2.47 acres, so metric land parcels tend to sound smaller in numbers than they are.
How do I convert square meters to square feet?
Multiply by 10.764. So a 50 m² apartment is roughly 538 ft². The factor is the square of the 3.28 feet-per-meter conversion, not that same number.
