About Area Converter
Property listings, agriculture and construction each favour a different area unit, and the same plot can be quoted in square feet, square yards, acres or hectares depending on who is selling it.
This converter translates between every common area unit at once so you can compare listings on equal terms.
How Area Converter works in your browser
Areas are converted through the square metre. Because an area is a length squared, the factors are the square of the length factors — one square foot is exactly 0.09290304 m² — and land units such as the acre and hectare are defined against those same base units.
Showing every unit at once makes it easy to compare listings that quote the same plot in square feet, square yards, acres or hectares.
When to use it
- Comparing property listings that use different area units.
- Converting farm or plot sizes between acres and hectares.
- Estimating flooring or paint quantities from room sizes in square feet.
Frequently asked questions
What is a gaj in square feet?
One gaj is one square yard, which is 9 square feet. A 200 gaj plot is 1,800 square feet.
How do I convert square feet to square metres?
Multiply by 0.09290304. A 1,000 sq ft flat is about 92.9 square metres.
Why is bigha not listed?
Because it has no single value. A bigha differs between states and sometimes between districts, so any one factor would be wrong for most users. Convert via square feet or square metres instead.

4046.86 square metres, historically the area one team of oxen could plough in a day.
Acre or hectare?
A hectare is 10,000 square metres, about 2.47 acres. Hectares are the metric standard for land area.
Are regional units included?
Yes - square yard (gaj), bigha-scale units vary regionally so the standard international units are provided alongside them.
