Convert between metric and imperial area units instantly. Perfect for real estate, land measurement, construction, and everyday conversions.
This converter provides accurate conversions based on standard conversion factors. For official surveys, legal documents, or high-precision applications, consult a licensed surveyor or use certified measurement tools.
Conversion factors are based on international standards from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and BIPM (International Bureau of Weights and Measures).
An area converter is a tool that transforms measurements between different units of area. Whether you're working with square meters, square feet, acres, or hectares, this converter handles all common metric and imperial area units. It's essential for real estate professionals, land surveyors, construction workers, architects, and anyone dealing with property measurements across different measurement systems.
Use this area converter whenever you need to:
Metric Units - Square millimeters (mm²), centimeters (cm²), meters (m²), kilometers (km²), and hectares (ha). Used worldwide, especially in scientific contexts.
Imperial/US Units - Square inches (in²), feet (ft²), yards (yd²), acres, and square miles (mi²). Common in the United States, UK, and former British colonies.
Real Estate Units - Square feet and square meters are most common for residential properties. Hectares and acres are used for larger land parcels.
Land Measurement - Acres (common in US/UK) and hectares (used internationally) are the standard units for measuring agricultural and undeveloped land.
1 square meter (m²) = 10.764 square feet (ft²)
1 acre = 4,046.86 square meters (m²) = 0.4047 hectares
1 hectare (ha) = 10,000 square meters = 2.471 acres
1 square foot (ft²) = 0.0929 square meters (m²)
In real estate, area measurements are critical for property valuation, comparison shopping, and legal documentation. In the United States, square feet (ft²) is the standard unit for residential properties, while most other countries use square meters (m²). For larger land parcels, acres are common in the US and UK, while hectares are the international standard. When viewing international property listings, always verify which unit system is being used to avoid costly misunderstandings. A 100 m² apartment is approximately 1,076 ft², and a 1-acre lot equals about 4,047 m² or 0.4 hectares.
Value in target unit = Value in source unit × (Source unit factor / Target unit factor)All conversions use square meters (m²) as the base unit. For example: 100 ft² × 0.0929 m²/ft² = 9.29 m²
To convert square feet to square meters, multiply the square feet value by 0.0929. For example, 1,000 ft² × 0.0929 = 92.9 m². Conversely, to convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.764. Our converter handles this calculation instantly for you.
One hectare equals approximately 2.471 acres. Conversely, one acre equals approximately 0.4047 hectares. Hectares are the preferred unit for land measurement in most countries outside the United States and United Kingdom.
A hectare is larger than an acre - one hectare equals about 2.47 acres. Hectares are metric units equal to 10,000 square meters, while acres are imperial units equal to 43,560 square feet. Hectares are used internationally, while acres are primarily used in the US, UK, and some former British colonies.
Multiply the square meter measurement by 10.764 to get square feet. For example, a 20 m² room equals 215.28 ft² (20 × 10.764). This is useful when comparing apartment sizes between countries using different measurement systems.
In the United States, apartments are measured in square feet (ft²). In most other countries, including Europe, Asia, and Australia, square meters (m²) is the standard. When searching for international properties, be sure to check which unit is being used and convert if necessary.
One square meter equals approximately 10.764 square feet. This means a room that is 1 meter by 1 meter (1 m²) is equivalent to approximately 10.76 square feet. Understanding this conversion is essential when comparing property sizes internationally.
One acre contains exactly 43,560 square feet. This is equivalent to approximately 4,047 square meters or about 0.405 hectares. An acre is roughly the size of a football field (without end zones), making it easier to visualize land sizes.
For large land areas, use hectares (internationally) or acres (US/UK). Square kilometers are used for very large areas like cities or regions. For reference: small farms are often 10-50 hectares (25-125 acres), while large farms can be hundreds or thousands of hectares.
