How to use Area Converter

Enter your area value in the “From” field — for example 120 for a 120 m² floor plan.
Select the unit you have (Square meter, Acre, Hectare…) in the first dropdown.
Select the unit you want in the second dropdown — the converted area appears instantly.
Press the swap button to reverse the conversion, e.g. from ft² → m² back to m² → ft².

What is Area Converter?

An area converter translates surface measurements between units — square meters to square feet, acres to hectares, square kilometers to square miles. Area units grow with the square of length units, which is why the numbers feel unintuitive: a meter is about 3.28 feet, but a square meter is about 10.76 square feet.

Two units on this list exist only for land: the hectare (10,000 m², the metric standard for farmland and forests) and the acre (4,046.86 m², the traditional English land unit — about 40% of a hectare, or roughly a football field without the end zones). Real-estate listings, floor plans and land registries mix all of these constantly, which is exactly what this tool untangles.

About the Area Converter

This converter handles seven area units — square centimeter, square meter, square kilometer, hectare, acre, square foot and square mile — and converts between any pair instantly as you type.

Common real-world jobs: converting an apartment listed at 85 m² into square feet for comparison shopping (915 ft²), working out how many hectares a 25-acre plot is (10.12 ha), or translating a country or city area from square kilometers to square miles. Useful anchors: 1 m² ≈ 10.764 ft², 1 hectare = 2.471 acres, 1 km² = 100 hectares ≈ 0.386 mi².

Results are computed locally in your browser from exact definitions, with enough precision for legal descriptions, architecture and homework alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

One square meter is 10.7639 square feet. So a 100 m² apartment is about 1,076 ft² — multiply square meters by roughly 10.76.

A hectare is 10,000 m² and an acre is 4,046.86 m², so 1 hectare = 2.471 acres. Metric countries measure land in hectares; the US and UK traditionally use acres.

An acre is about 4,047 m² — close to an American football field without the end zones, or a square roughly 64 m (208 ft) on each side.

Because area scales with the square of length. 1 m = 3.2808 ft, so 1 m² = 3.2808 × 3.2808 = 10.764 ft². Forgetting to square the factor is the most common area-conversion mistake.

Multiply by 0.3861: 1 km² = 0.386102 mi². Going the other way, 1 square mile is 2.58999 km² (exactly 640 acres).
