About This Tool
Why use Area Converter?
Convert between square metres, square kilometres, square feet, square miles, acres and hectares. Property listings, farmland and maps each favour a different unit, and the conversions are not intuitive because area scales with the square of length.
The ones worth knowing: 1 m² = 10.764 ft², 1 acre = 4,047 m², 1 hectare = 10,000 m² = 2.471 acres, and 1 square mile = 640 acres. An acre was originally the area a team of oxen could plough in a day, which is why it is not a round number in metric units.
