🗺️ Area Converter
Convert between square meters, square feet, acres and hectares.
About this tool
Converts between seven area units — square meters, square kilometers, square feet, square yards, acres, hectares, and square miles — through a shared square-meter base.
Useful for property listings, land size, and floor area when comparing figures given in different unit conventions.
Worked example
A 2,000 sq ft house is about 185.8 sq m, and a 1-acre plot is about 0.405 hectares.

Tips
- US and UK real estate listings typically use square feet; most of the rest of the world uses square meters.
- Farmland and large land parcels are usually measured in acres (US) or hectares (most other countries).
- 1 acre is about 43,560 square feet, or roughly the size of a football field minus the end zones.
FAQ
How many square feet is an acre?
1 acre is about 43,560 square feet.
What's the difference between an acre and a hectare?
A hectare (10,000 sq m) is larger than an acre (about 4,047 sq m) — roughly 1 hectare equals 2.47 acres.
Is this useful for room sizes?
Yes — for smaller areas like rooms, square meters and square feet are the two most relevant units here.
From the blog: getting the most out of this tool
Property size is the most common reason people land on an area converter — comparing a US listing in square feet against a European one in square meters, or estimating land in acres versus hectares.
We kept the seven units to the ones that actually show up in real estate and land-measurement contexts, rather than adding obscure historical area units nobody searches for.
