Area Converter
Convert area units: square feet, square meters, acres, hectares and more.
Area measurement units vary widely across India and globally, creating confusion in real estate, agriculture, and construction. This area converter handles all units commonly used in India — square feet, square metres, square yards, acres, hectares, bigha, gunta, cent, marla, kanal, and ground — along with international units. Real estate listings in Mumbai use square feet, Tamil Nadu uses grounds and cents, Punjab uses marla and kanal, and agricultural land uses bigha and hectares.
📋 How to Use This Calculator
Enter the area value and select the source unit from the dropdown. All equivalent values in other units are displayed simultaneously. The converter handles conversions between metric (sq.m, hectare), imperial (sq.ft, sq.yd, acre), and traditional Indian units (bigha, gunta, cent, marla, kanal, ground, biswa). Note that bigha varies significantly by state — specify the state for accurate bigha conversions.
