How to Convert Area Units Including Acres and Hectares
Square metres, acres, hectares and the regional land units that are not interchangeable.
About Area Converter — Free Online Converter
Area Converter works across three traditions at once — metric squares and hectares, imperial squares and acres, and the Indian land units guntha, cent, ground, kanal, marla and bigha.
Square metres are the base, and every imperial square is derived from the exact 0.0254 m inch, which puts an acre at 4046.8564224 square metres rather than a rounded 4047. The Indian units are the ones that need a warning and the tool issues one: each carries a note shown beside the answer, and the bigha note says outright that the unit has no single legal size. The figure used is the pakka bigha of 3025 square yards, so a kachha bigha, or a bigha in Bengal, Assam or Nepal, will not match. Read a land-unit result as the conversion of one stated definition, not as a reading of your own land record.
The plot size you type is converted inside the browser tab and goes no further. A survey figure or a draft deed number is not transmitted to any server and is not stored, here or anywhere else.
Comparing two property listings quoted in different units, turning a builder's square-foot carpet area into square metres, sizing farmland given in acres against a hectare threshold, and checking a broker's guntha or kanal figure against the square footage.
