Select square feet to square meters, or the reverse. The input label shows which unit your number represents.
sq ft ↔ m²Enter zero or a positive number, including decimals. Have wall dimensions instead? Find the area first with the Wall Area Calculator.
Whole numbers or decimalsChoose two, four, or six decimal places. This adjusts the displayed rounding while keeping the same conversion factor.
2, 4, or 6 decimal placesCheck the result unit and calculation, then select Copy Result. A manual copy field appears if automatic copying is unavailable.
Keep your conversion handySwitch Direction keeps the entered number. Switching with 100 entered changes the input from 100 sq ft to 100 m². To convert your result back, switch and enter that result; rounding may cause a small difference.

Multiply your area in square feet by 0.09290304.
250 × 0.09290304 = 23.22576 m²
Divide your area in square meters by 0.09290304.
20 ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 215.278208 sq ft
Why is the conversion factor squared? One international foot equals exactly 0.3048 meters. Area has two dimensions, so 1 sq ft = 0.3048 × 0.3048 = 0.09290304 m². Use the full factor when calculating and round only the final result.

Need a different value? Use the area converter for your measurement or switch to square meters to square feet. These values represent area, not individual side lengths.
Answers about area units, conversion accuracy and using your converted measurement.
Yes. Conversion changes the unit used to express an area, not the physical size of the surface. The number is smaller in square meters because one square meter covers more area than one square foot.
Yes. Both mean square feet. Similarly, m², sq m and square meters refer to the same area unit. A measurement in feet or meters without the square designation usually represents length rather than area.
Enter an area measurement, not a single side length. For a rectangular room, first multiply length by width using the same unit. You can use the Square Footage Calculator to calculate the area before converting it.
Rounding removes some decimal precision. If you convert that rounded value back, it may differ slightly from the original measurement. Keep the original value or select more decimal places when you need a closer reverse conversion.
This is scientific notation for a very small number. For example, 9.2903e-7 means 9.2903 × 10⁻⁷, or 0.00000092903. The converter uses this format when the selected decimal places would otherwise round a positive result to zero.
No. This tool converts area only. To convert a price per square foot to a price per square meter, divide the rate by 0.09290304. For the reverse, multiply the rate by 0.09290304. Keep the currency unchanged and use matching area and price units when calculating cost.
Yes. The conversion factor is the same for any area. This tool does not calculate opening deductions or material quantities. If you need to subtract doors and windows first, use the Wall Area Calculator to find your net wall area.
No. The converter preserves the area you enter and changes its unit only. For a flooring project, use the Flooring Calculator to include a waste allowance and optional purchase details.
