Convert between m², acres, hectares and more.
Area conversion comes up most often around property and land — square metres and hectares dominate metric countries, while square feet and acres remain standard in real estate listings in the United States. This converter runs every unit through square metres as a common base for consistent results across any pair.
Acres are a traditional imperial unit still used for land in the US and a few other countries, while hectares are the metric standard used almost everywhere else, including most of Europe and Asia. Neither is more accurate — they're just different regional conventions.
An acre is about 4,047 square metres — roughly the size of a standard American football field, including the end zones.
