Area Converter
Convert area units — from square meters and acres to hectares and marla — instantly.
Area measures the size of a surface — a room, a plot of land, a field. This converter handles metric units (square meters, hectares), imperial units (square feet, acres), and South-Asian land units (marla, kanal) in one place.
How the area converter works
Each area unit is stored as its size in square meters (the base unit). To convert A to B, the value is turned into square meters, then into the target unit — so any pair converts in one step.
Every unit is defined relative to a base unit (m²), so any unit can convert to any other in one step.
Step-by-step
- Pick the unit you're converting from.
- Pick the unit you're converting to.
- Enter the value.
- Read the result, and adjust precision if needed.
Worked example
Convert 100 square feet to square meters:
So 100 square feet is about 9.29 square meters.
