Area converter
Convert land and floor areas between metric and imperial square units. Compare a 85 m² apartment to square feet, a 2-acre plot to hectares, or tile coverage in ft² vs m². Essential for real estate listings, agriculture, and construction estimates.

How to convert area units
1. Enter area in the source unit (e.g. square meters).
2. Select the target unit (e.g. square feet).
3. Verify the result against listing or plan dimensions.
4. For rectangular rooms, you can multiply length × width first, then convert area.
Area conversion examples
Apartment size
85 m² = 914.9 ft². EU listings in m²; US buyers think in ft².
Land plot
1 acre = 4,046.86 m² ≈ 0.405 hectare. 5 acres ≈ 2.02 ha.
Square miles to km²
1 mi² = 2.58999 km². US county sizes often quoted in square miles.
When to use the area converter
• When you compare international property listings.
• When you order flooring, turf, or paint using coverage per m² or ft².
• When you convert field sizes for agriculture or solar panel layout.
When to choose something else
• When you only have linear dimensions — convert length first, then multiply.
• When you need volume (m³) for soil or concrete — use volume converter.
• When you need circular area from diameter — calculate πr² first.
Square units scale with the square of length
Doubling room length quadruples area. That is why 1 m² is about 10.76 ft², not 3.28 — area conversions square the linear factor. A common mistake is applying the meter-to-foot factor once instead of twice.
Real estate disclosure norms
Some markets count balcony area differently or exclude common space. Converted numbers from listings are approximate marketing figures — verify against deeds and measured plans for transactions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert m² to ft²?
Multiply m² by 10.76391041671. Or square the length conversion factor (3.28084 ft/m)².
How big is an acre?
1 acre = 43,560 ft² ≈ 4047 m² — roughly a US football field without end zones.
What is a hectare?
1 ha = 10,000 m² = 2.471 acres. Common for farmland in metric countries.
Can I convert rooms with different units per side?
Convert each side to the same length unit, multiply for area, then convert area — do not mix ft and m on sides without converting.
Are survey areas exact?
Legal parcels may use specialized units. This tool uses standard international conversion factors.
Is data uploaded?
