About Area Conversion

Area measurement is critical in real estate, agriculture, construction, and land management. The square meter (m²) is the SI unit of area, while acres and hectares are commonly used for measuring land. In the United States, square feet and acres dominate real estate listings, while most other countries use square meters and hectares.

One hectare equals 10,000 square meters or approximately 2.471 acres. An acre, historically defined as the area a yoke of oxen could plow in one day, equals 43,560 square feet. These traditional units remain widely used despite the global adoption of the metric system.

Our area converter supports ten different units spanning from small measurements (square millimeters for precision engineering) to large areas (square miles for geographical regions), making it versatile enough for any application.
