Area Converter
Convert between Square Meters, Acres, Hectares, and Square Feet.
Area measures the extent of a 2D surface. It is vital for real estate (square footage, acres), agriculture (hectares), and geography. Because area is length squared, conversion factors grow rapidly (e.g., 1 km = 1000 m, but 1 km² = 1,000,000 m²).

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Land Area
1. What is an Acre?
Historically, an acre was the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in one day. Standardized, it is 43,560 square feet (about 75% the size of a football field).
2. Hectare vs. Acre
The metric world uses the hectare (ha), which is a 100m x 100m square. It is widely used in global agriculture and is substantially larger than an acre (1 ha ∼ 2.5 acres).
