Area Converter (m², ft², acres, hectares, ...)
Convert an area between metric units (square millimeters through square kilometers, hectares) and imperial/US units (square feet, acres, square miles). Runs entirely in your browser.
How it works
Every unit is converted through a common base unit — the square meter. An acre (4046.86 m²) and a hectare (10,000 m², i.e. 100 m × 100 m) are both land-measurement units, but of very different scale — one hectare is about 2.47 acres.
