- Square Meters to Square FeetApartment listings in Europe print m². US flooring quotes print square feet. Multiply by 10.7639. A 50 m² studio is 538 ft² — not “500 unless the agent rounded in your favor.”
- Square Miles to AcresOne square mile is 640 acres — a US survey section. Ranch listings and wildfire maps still use both. Multiply mi² by 640. A 36 mi² township grid is 23,040 acres.
- Acres to HectaresUS farm ads in acres, EU paperwork in hectares. Divide acres by 2.471. Ten acres is 4.05 ha. A 160-acre quarter-section is 64.7 ha.
- Aspect RatioHeight = width × (ratio height / ratio width). 1920×1080 is 16:9. Instagram’s 1:1 is a crop, not a camera sensor. Letterboxing is you refusing to crop.
- Chains to MetersGunter’s chain is 66 feet, which is 20.1168 m. Survey plats, cricket pitches (22 yards = 1 chain), and some railroad descriptions still use it. 80 chains make a mile. This is not an engineer’s 100 ft chain.
- Cubic Meters to Cubic FeetShipping containers, HVAC airflow, and mulch. Multiply m³ by 35.315. One cubic meter is 35.3 ft³. A 40 m³ truck is 1,413 ft³ — not a 40-foot container’s nickname.

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
