Example 1
50 m² -> 538.1955 ft².
Square meters to square feet
Type a floor area from a listing and pick m² or ft². The factor is the square of the 0.3048 m foot. 50 m² is 538.1955 ft², not a 10.76 flyer rounding.
Floor area. Edge length: meters and feet. Plot: hectares and acres.

How it works
The international foot is 0.3048 m. Area in ft² is m² times 10.76391042, because 1 / 0.3048². 1 m² on the page is 10.7639 ft². 50 m² is 538.1955 ft². 70 m² is 753.4737 ft². 200 m² is 2152.7821 ft². 1000 ft² is 92.9030 m². 500 ft² is 46.4515 m². 10 m² is 107.6391 ft².
A metric listing writes m²; a US listing writes ft². Type 50 and leave square meters. The 2 example on the page is 2 m², about 21.53 ft², not a 50 m² apartment. Type 50 yourself when you compare a studio with a listing in feet.
Pick the direction from the list: m² to ft² or ft² to m². A comma and a period both work. Typed zero is allowed. A minus is rejected. Four decimals stay, because 10.76 is flyer rounding. The switch sets m² or ft² on an empty field and does not rewrite a typed 50.
Room edge length lives on the meters-and-feet page. A plot in hectares and acres is on the neighbouring page. Here it stays a floor or an office, not a hectare.
The old US survey foot is not in this card. The calculator does not know the wall layout. It converts one area number. Ares go on the acre page as a fraction of a hectare.
The square of a foot is not a linear foot. 50 m of edge is not 50 m². Compute the area first, then convert the units.
How to use
- Type a floor or hall area, for example 50 or 1000.
- Pick m² to ft² or ft² to m².
- Click Calculate. 50 m² gives 538.1955 ft². 1000 ft² gives 92.9030 m².
- A square foot is 0.092903 m². A plot in hectares is on the neighbouring page.
- For an edge, open meters and feet. For a plot, open hectares and acres.
Formula
ft² = m² / 0.3048²
m² = ft² × 0.3048²
1 international foot = 0.3048 m exactly. This is not the survey foot and not an acre.
m² and ft² from the squared foot
Here 50 m² is 538.1955 ft². The factor is 0.3048², not a 10.76 flyer rounding. This is not an acre.
- m²
- Square meters from a listing. 50 / 0.3048² = 538.1955 ft². The survey foot is not used here.
- ft²
- Square feet from that same 0.3048 m foot. 538.1955 from 50 m². The other way, ft² × 0.3048² returns m².

Ways to use this converter
- You compare a listing in m² with a US offer in square feet.
- You convert a 1000 ft² office to m² when the lease is metric.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the 0.3048 m international foot?
Yes. Its square is 10.76391042. The US survey foot is not used here.
How many ft² are a 50 m² and a 70 m² apartment?
50 m² is 538.1955 ft². 70 m² is 753.4737 ft². 1 m² = 10.7639 ft².
Can area be negative?
Zero area is allowed. A minus is usually a typing mistake.
Is 1 m² 10.76 or 10.7639 ft²?
Closer to 10.7639 with four decimals. 10.76 is a flyer shortcut.
What does the header switch do?
On an empty field, metric sets m² and US sets ft². It does not rewrite a typed number.
Do you use the survey foot?
We take 0.3048 m. Old US maps can use a slightly different survey foot.
How do I type 12.5 m²?
Use a comma or a period. Do not insert thousand separators.
Is this meters to feet, just squared?
It is the square of the same foot. That page converts an edge. This page converts area.
How many m² are 1000 ft² and 500 ft²?
1000 ft² is 92.9030 m². 500 ft² is 46.4515 m². The factor is the square of 0.3048 m.
How many ft² are 10 m² and 200 m²?
10 m² is 107.6391 ft². 200 m² is 2152.7821 ft². Same 10.76391 factor.
