About Land Area Unit Converter

Land units are local, and the same word means different things across regions. The Land Area Unit Converter handles acres, hectares, square feet/meters, gaj (square yard), bigha, katha, guntha, marla, kanal and cent — and lets you pick a region so bigha and katha factors match local practice.

Select your region, type a value in any unit, and the full grid (in the correct regional factors) updates instantly. Export the table for deeds, listings or takeoffs.
