1. How to convert square feet to square meters
The conversion is a single multiplication: m² = ft² × 0.09290304. Both units are defined
against the same base — the square metre (m²) — so the factor is fixed and the result
is exact to the precision shown.
Worked at the two values people ask for most: 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m² and
100 ft² = 9.290304 m². Going the other way, ft² = m² × 10.7639104167, so
1 m² = 10.76391 ft² — a direction with its own page, square meters to square feet.
Results are given to eight significant figures. That is more precision than most jobs need — for a rough figure, treat 1 ft² as about 0.09290304 m² and adjust — but rounding early and multiplying afterwards is how a small error becomes a visible one, so the full figure is what the converter carries.

Every row is the same factor applied — nothing in the table is a special case, and any value in between behaves the same way. Type your own figure into the converter above and the Formula tile shows the arithmetic being used, so the result is checkable rather than taken on trust.
3. What the two units are
- Square feet (ft²). One ft² is 0.09290304 m².
- Square metres (m²). One m² is 1 m².
Both are converted through the square metre (m²): the value is multiplied by its own unit's factor to reach the base, then divided by the target unit's factor to leave it. No direct square feet to square meters factor has to exist or be kept correct, which is also why the converter can show the same value in all 10 area units at once.
Area units are the square of their length units, so the factors are squared too: a square foot is 0.3048² m². The two agricultural units are worth memorising — a hectare is exactly 10,000 m² and an acre is exactly 4,046.8564224 m², which is 43,560 square feet, so a hectare is about 2.47 acres.
If the pair you actually want is not this one, the full unit converter runs every 10 area units off the same factor table, along with 11 other categories of measurement.
4. Square feet to Square metres FAQs
How do I convert square feet to square meters?
Multiply by 0.09290304. 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m², and 100 ft² = 9.290304 m². The factor is exact to the precision shown, so the only rounding is the one you choose to do at the end.
How many square meters is 1 ft²?
1 ft² = 0.09290304 m². The full formula is m² = ft² × 0.09290304, and 1 m² = 10.76391 ft² going the other way.
What is 100 ft² in m²?
100 ft² = 9.290304 m². The table above works the same factor through 9 values, and the converter takes any figure you type — including decimals.
How do I convert square meters to square feet?
ft² = m² × 10.7639104167, so 1 m² = 10.76391 ft². Use the Swap button in the converter to reverse the direction without retyping the value, or open the dedicated square meters to square feet page.
How many square feet in an acre?
Exactly 43,560, which is 4,046.8564224 m². A hectare is exactly 10,000 m², or about 2.4711 acres. Area factors are the squares of the length factors, which is why a square foot is 0.3048² m² rather than anything needing measurement.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
No. The factor table ships with the page and every conversion runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged or written to storage, and the converter keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
