How to convert square feet to square meters

- Keep From as Square feet and To as Square meters, or pick acres, hectares, or square yards.
- Read square meters. Multiply square feet by 0.09290304.
- Swap units to go from square meters back to square feet. Room takeoffs and land parcels use other calculators.

What square feet to square meters does
This spoke of the area engine starts at square feet and targets square meters. The international foot is exactly 0.3048 m, so its square is 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m² with no extra rounding in the factor. An acre on this list is 4046.8564224 m² (10 square chains in the international foot), not a survey-foot acre.
The area hub is area. Floor plans that need length × width belong on a square-footage calculator. Parcel math belongs on a land area calculator. Other dimensions sit on the unit converter.
Area factors
m² = ft² × 0.09290304. ft² = m² / 0.09290304. 1 m² is about 10.7639104167 ft². Hectares divide square meters by 10000. Square miles and square kilometers sit on the same table for large tracts.
Floor area versus land survey
Listing photos often quote interior square footage. That still needs a tape and a method for walls and stairs. This page only converts a number you already have. It does not apply a US survey foot (1200/3937 m). GIS work that still uses the survey foot should not use these factors.
When to convert square footage here
Move a listing from ft² into m², compare an acre figure with hectares, or check a roof plane already measured in square feet. Do not treat the result as a legal survey.
What this page does not do
It does not multiply length by width. It does not convert the survey foot. It is not a cadastral or title tool. Numbers stay in this browser.
