Area Converter

The area converter translates between square metres, square feet, acres, hectares and square kilometres — essential for property in Pakistan, where land is quoted in a mixture of metric units, imperial units and the traditional marla and kanaal system.

Pakistani property documents are notoriously mixed: urban plots are quoted in marlas (1 marla ≈ 272.25 square feet) or kanals (1 kanaal = 20 marlas), agricultural land in acres, and modern housing schemes increasingly in square yards or square feet. This converter works with the metric and imperial square units behind those terms, so you can compare plots quoted in different systems.

The conversion factors are exact: one square foot is precisely 0.092903 square metres, one acre is 4,046.86 square metres (43,560 square feet), and one hectare is 10,000 square metres — which is how 1 hectare relates to 2.47 acres. Because a square-unit conversion squares the linear factor, these numbers differ from the length conversions on this site.

For context: a standard 5-marla residential plot is roughly 1,361 square feet (about 126 square metres); a 1-kanaal plot is about 2,722 square feet (253 square metres); and a 1-acre farm is about 4,047 square metres. The converter lets you verify such figures instantly when reading advertisements or title documents.

The calculator supports all five units in every direction with live updates, making it a reliable companion for anyone buying, selling or comparing property in Pakistan.
