An area converter moves between square metres, square feet, acres and hectares. Square feet to square meters, acres to hectares - exact factors, including the regional units (are, cent, ping) that show up in property listings worldwide.
| From | Equals |

| 1 hectare | 10000 m² |
Every value in this table is computed by the same conversion engine as the tool above - not typed in by hand - so the tool and the table can never disagree.
An acre is exactly one surveyor's chain by one furlong - 66 feet × 660 feet - which works out to 4,046.8564224 m² exactly, inherited from the same 1959 definitions as the foot itself. The hectare is simpler: 10,000 m² by definition (a 100 m square), making 1 hectare ≈ 2.47 acres. Those two units carry most of the world's land measurement between them.
The classic mistake: 1 meter is about 3.28 feet, but 1 square meter is about 10.76 square feet - the linear factor, squared. This converter also includes the regional units that trip people up in property listings: the are (100 m²), the Indian cent (1/100 acre), and the Taiwanese/Japanese ping (≈3.306 m², the area of two tatami mats). For price-per-area comparisons across listings, the property price comparator builds on this same engine.
About 10.764. A 100 square metre apartment is roughly 1,076 square feet.
An acre is 4,046.86 square metres, or 43,560 square feet - roughly the size of a football pitch without the end zones. A hectare is 10,000 square metres, about 2.47 acres.
Each of these has its own page with the exact factor, a reference table and the working shown. The converter above handles any of them too - these exist so the specific answer is one click rather than a search.
