How the Area Converter works

Enter an area and pick the units — square meters, square feet, acres, hectares and more. The result updates as you type, and the table below shows the area in every unit.

Area units are squares of length units, so their factors are squared too: one foot is 0.3048 m, so one square foot is 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m². An acre is 43,560 square feet and a hectare is 10,000 m².

Formula

result = value × ffrom ÷ fto

Where:

ffrom
Size of the starting unit in the base unit (1 ft2 = 0.09290304 m2)
fto
Size of the target unit in the same base unit

For a rectangle, multiply length by width in the same unit first, then convert the area.

Examples

A 1,500 sq ft apartment in m²

1,500 × 0.09290304 = 139.35 m²

A 12 ft × 15 ft room

12 × 15 = 180 ft², and 180 × 0.09290304 = 16.72 m²

One square kilometer in acres

1,000,000 m² ÷ 4,046.8564224 = 247.11 ac

Frequently asked questions

Why is 1 m² about 10.76 sq ft, not 3.28?

A meter is 3.28 feet, but a square meter is 1 m × 1 m, which is 3.28 ft × 3.28 ft ≈ 10.76 ft². Always square the length factor for areas.

How big are an acre and a hectare?

An acre is 4,046.86 m² (about 0.405 ha). A hectare is 10,000 m² — a 100 m × 100 m square — which is about 2.47 acres.

Can I convert square feet to cubic feet?

No — area and volume measure different things. Multiply the area by a height or depth to get a volume, then use the Volume Converter.
