Convert square meters, feet, acres, hectares. Free area converter.
Converting between area units is essential for real estate, construction, landscaping, and land measurement across different regions of the world. This converter supports square meters, square kilometers, square feet, square yards, square miles, acres, and hectares. Real estate listings in Europe use square meters, American listings use square feet, and agricultural land is measured in acres or hectares depending on the country. Having a reliable conversion tool eliminates confusion and prevents costly measurement errors in property transactions and construction projects.
Select the source and target area units, enter your value, and see the conversion instantly. All area units are defined relative to one square meter. The converter multiplies your input by the source unit factor and divides by the target unit factor. Area conversions use squared linear factors, for example since 1 foot equals 0.3048 meters, 1 square foot equals 0.3048 squared or 0.0929 square meters.
Home buyers compare property sizes listed in different unit systems. Architects convert floor plan dimensions for international clients. Farmers calculate field acreage for planting and crop yield estimates. Real estate developers assess land parcels for building projects. Landscapers estimate material coverage for lawns and gardens.

One hectare equals 2.471 acres, or equivalently, one acre equals 0.4047 hectares. Hectares are the standard unit for land measurement in most countries using the metric system, while acres are predominantly used in the United States and United Kingdom.
For irregular shapes, divide the area into regular shapes like rectangles and triangles, calculate each area separately, and sum them. For very irregular land parcels, GPS-based surveying tools or satellite imagery with area measurement features provide the most accurate results.
Square yards are commonly used in the carpet and flooring industry, as well as in construction for concrete and paving estimates. One square yard equals 9 square feet or approximately 0.836 square meters.
