Area is a free, private online tool that lets you convert area between square meters, square feet, acres, hectares and square miles. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded to a server.

Property is measured in square meters and square feet (floor area) or acres and hectares (land). This converter covers both.
1 hectare = 10,000 m2 is about 2.471 acres. 1 acre is about 4047 m2 or 43,560 ft2. 1 m2 is about 10.764 ft2.
Real estate listings, gardening and farming, flooring and construction estimates.
Area is a two-dimensional measure, so its units are squared lengths. Each unit is a fixed multiple of the square metre: the tool converts your value to square metres and then to the target unit. Because the units are squared, the ratios are the length ratios squared — for example 1 foot is 0.3048 m, so 1 square foot is 0.3048² ≈ 0.0929 m².
Two units dominate land measurement. A hectare is 10,000 m² (a square 100 m on each side) and is the metric standard for land. An acre is about 4047 m² or 43,560 square feet, originally the area a pair of oxen could plough in a day. Usefully, 1 hectare ≈ 2.471 acres — a conversion farmers and property buyers reach for constantly.
For buildings and rooms, square metres and square feet are the everyday units, with 1 m² ≈ 10.764 ft². Real-estate listings, flooring and tiling estimates, and construction plans switch between them depending on the country, so quick conversion avoids costly ordering mistakes.
The tool spans the full range, from square millimetres and square centimetres up through square metres, hectares and square kilometres, plus square miles (about 2.59 km²). That makes it equally useful for a phone screen, a building plot, or a region on a map.
Typical jobs include sizing carpet or paint, comparing property listings across unit systems, planning a garden or field, and homework. All ratios are standard and the conversion runs locally in your browser.
