- Choose the source unit, such as m², ft², hectare or acre.
- Choose the target unit and calculate; the selected result and the equivalent in square meters are shown.

Important notes
This tool uses the international acre and does not merge it with local land units that may have similar translated names. Regional units such as feddan or dunam can vary by jurisdiction and are intentionally excluded here. For legal or survey documents, use the unit definition stated in the official record.
