Worked examples
What this tool is (and is not)
Is: a two-way unit converter between 9 area units (in², ft², yd², m², cm², km², acre, hectare, mi²).
Is not: a length-times-width area finder (that needs a width - see our linear-feet to square feet calculator), and it does not convert area to volume (volume needs a depth too).
Frequently asked questions
How many square meters are in 1,000 square feet?
1,000 square feet equals 92.90304 square meters, exactly. Multiply any square-foot value by the exact factor 0.09290304 to get square meters.
How many square feet are in 1 acre?
One acre is defined as exactly 43,560 square feet. So 2 acres is 87,120 square feet, half an acre is 21,780 square feet, and so on.
How do I convert 100 square meters to square feet?
Divide by 0.09290304: 100 / 0.09290304 = 1,076.391042 square feet. One square meter is about 10.7639104167 square feet.
What is the exact definition of a square foot?
Since the 1959 international agreement, 1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meters, so 1 square foot is exactly 0.09290304 square meters. All conversions on this page derive from that single exact constant.
How many square feet are in a square mile?
One square mile is exactly 27,878,400 square feet (5,280 feet per mile, squared). That is also exactly 640 acres.
How many acres is 1 hectare?
One hectare is about 2.471053815 acres. A hectare is 10,000 square meters, and an acre is 43,560 square feet, so the ratio is exact, not an approximation.
Should I list my property in square feet or square meters?
In the United States, real estate listings almost always use square feet; most of the rest of the world uses square meters. Use the converter above to translate a listing for an international audience: a 1,500 ft² home is 139.35456 m².
How many square inches are in a square foot?
Exactly 144. A foot is 12 inches, so a square foot is 12 x 12 = 144 square inches. A square yard, similarly, is exactly 9 square feet.
Is this different from a linear-feet to square-feet calculator?
Yes. This page converts between area units (square feet to square meters, acres, and so on). A linear-feet calculator finds an area from a length times a width, which needs an extra measurement - the width - that unit conversion does not need.
Can I convert area directly to volume with this tool?
No. Volume needs a third dimension: volume equals area times depth (or height). Converting square feet to cubic feet is impossible without knowing the depth, so this tool sticks to honest area-to-area conversion.
