About this tool

Every conversion goes through square metres, using exact definitions: 1 square foot = 0.09290304 m², 1 square yard = 0.83612736 m², 1 acre = 4,046.8564224 m² and 1 hectare = 10,000 m². Square units grow with the square of the length, so 1 m² is about 10.76 ft², not 3.28.

Common uses are floor space, land, flooring and paint estimates, and property listings that use different units in different countries.
