Overview

Every area unit at once, with the factors that matter

Rather than picking one from/to pair, enter a value once and read it in square feet, square meters, square yards, acres, hectares and more simultaneously. The conversions that trip people up are the land ones: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet = 4,046.86 square meters, and 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters = 2.471 acres. Type an area and those relationships resolve instantly, so 'how many square feet in an acre' and 'acres to hectares' are answered the moment you enter a number.

Guide

Detailed guide

South Asian land units built in

Property in Pakistan and India is quoted in Marla, Kanal, Gaz and Bigha, units most converters ignore. Here they sit alongside the metric and imperial ones: 1 Kanal = 20 Marla, and in the standard definition 1 Marla = 272.25 square feet (about 25.29 square meters). Enter a plot in Marla or Kanal and see it in square feet or square meters at the same time, which is exactly what you need when comparing a local listing against an international one.
