Unit converter

Area.

Convert ft² to m², or pick any of the 15 units in the menus. Type in either box and the other follows. Land in acres and hectares, floors in square feet and square metres — and the acre's odd 4046.86 m² is a chain by a furlong.

Definitions

  • The square foot is 0.092 903 04 m² exactly. US property listings and commercial UK lettings still quote it.
  • The square metre is the SI unit of area, and the unit UK floor plans and carpets are sold in.
  • Every unit here is defined against the m².
  • Every unit in the menus is exact by definition, so the only rounding on this page is the one you choose for the display.

How it works

Every value is converted into square metres and then back out into the unit you asked for. One route covers every pairing in the menus, so an unusual combination is no less accurate than a common one, and adding a unit affects only that unit.

Both boxes are live. Whichever one you last typed in is the source, changing either menu recalculates straight away, and Swap exchanges the units and the values so the number you are reading stays where you are looking.

Display precision limits significant figures rather than decimal places, because one fixed number of decimals is useless across a range this wide. Very large and very small results switch to scientific notation with a proper superscript exponent. The editable box always holds a plain number at full working precision, so you can carry on from either side.

Common questions this answers: how many square metres in a square foot (0.092903), how many square feet in a square metre (10.7639), and what 100 ft² is in square metres (9.2903 m²).
