Area converter
Convert floor space, land and room sizes. Area factors are the square of the length factor: 1 ft² = 0.3048² m² exactly.
1 square foot = 0.092903 square metres
How it’s calculated
m² = ft² × 0.09290304
- Multiply the value in square feet by 0.09290304.
- To go back, divide by 0.09290304 (or multiply by 10.76391042).
- 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m² · 1 m² = 10.76391042 ft²

Find the conversion factor
By definition 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m². Source: NIST SP 811 / Handbook 44; BIPM SI Brochure (9th ed.) (SI prefixes and accepted units).
Multiply by the factor written as a fraction
Put ft² in the denominator so it cancels, leaving m².
Calculate (unrounded)
Round the answer
Rounded to 5 significant figures.
Answer: 0.092903 m²

Frequently asked questions
Which area units can I convert?
square metres (m²), square kilometres (km²), square centimetres (cm²), square millimetres (mm²), hectares (ha), square feet (ft²), square inches (in²), square yards (yd²), acres (ac), square miles (mi²).
How accurate are the results?
Every unit is stored with its exact defining factor (NIST SP 811, NIST Handbook 44 or the BIPM SI Brochure). Calculations use double-precision arithmetic and are rounded only for display, to 5 significant figures by default (trailing zeros dropped, so 1 km shows as 1000 m). You can choose Auto (up to 10 digits), fixed decimals or more significant figures, or switch to scientific or engineering notation.
