About the Area Converter
The Area Converter provides instant, client-side conversions between common area units such as square meters, square feet, acres and hectares. It runs entirely in your browser, keeping your inputs private while giving accurate, easy-to-read results.
Units included
- Square meters (m²) — standard SI unit for area.
- Square feet (ft²) — commonly used in real estate and construction in the United States.
- Acres — used for land measurement in agriculture and property listings.
- Hectares — metric land measure commonly used for larger plots.
How it works
Enter a numeric area value, pick the source and target units, and press Convert. The tool uses fixed conversion factors (for example, 1 acre = 4046.8564224 m²) and displays the converted value with sensible rounding for readability.
Common use-cases
- Quickly converting property sizes in listings between acres/hectares and square meters/feet.
- Translating construction plans between imperial and metric area measurements.
- Estimating garden or landscaping areas when planning materials or planting density.
Tip: For very large areas use hectares or acres for concise display; for architectural plans prefer square meters or square feet for precision.
