Good to know
The area converter converts directly in your browser between metric square units, Anglo-American square units, and land areas. All results are calculated via a common square-meter base, with exact definitions: 1 foot = 0.3048 m, 1 acre = 43,560 ft², 1 square mile = 640 acres, and 1 hectare = 10,000 m².
Calculation runs locally in the browser. Property and living-area figures can be defined differently by region — the international definitions used here are the standard reference for technical conversions.
Typical use cases
Compare property and real estate areas
Convert square meters to square feet or acres to better compare international real estate listings.
Assess agricultural land in hectares or acres
Convert hectares to acres or square miles, for example for agricultural land or survey figures.
Precisely convert technical area values
Use the exact international definitions to reliably convert area values for technical documentation or scientific calculations.
Tips for better results
Watch for regional definition differences
Real estate and living-area figures can use different calculation rules depending on the country — this tool uses the internationally defined units themselves.
Understand acres and square miles via the international foot
Acre and square mile here are based on the international foot (1 ft = 0.3048 m exactly) — very old or country-specific survey systems may show slight deviations.
Features
Three unit groups
Metric square units, Anglo-American square units, and land areas are cleanly separated.
Local conversion
Calculation happens directly in the browser, without transmission to a server.
Exact international definitions
Conversions are based on a common square-meter base with transparent, exact definitions.
