Frequently asked questions
How do I convert Marla to square feet?
Enter the number of Marla, choose Marla in the unit list and read the square feet row. One Marla equals the size in the Marla field, which defaults to 272.25 square feet, so change that field first if your area uses a different definition.
How do I convert Kanal to Marla?
One Kanal is defined here as 20 Marla. Enter 1 with Kanal selected and the Marla row shows 20, while the square feet row shows 5445 at the default Marla size of 272.25, because 20 times 272.25 is 5445.
What is a Marla in square feet?
The page uses 272.25 square feet as the default Marla and lets you edit that number. Some regions use smaller or larger Marla definitions, so the field exists to keep the conversion aligned with the local survey standard.
How do I change the Marla size used in the conversion?
Edit the field labelled Marla size in square feet. Every row recalculates immediately, including Kanal, which is always 20 times the value you enter. The setting is not saved, so it returns to 272.25 on reload.
How do I convert acres to square feet?
Choose Acre, enter the number of acres and read the square feet row. One acre is fixed at 43560 square feet, so 1 acre shows 43560 and half an acre shows 21780 regardless of the Marla setting.
What units does the converter show at once?
Eight rows appear together: Marla, Kanal, Gaj, square feet, square yard, square metre, acre and hectare. You enter one value in one unit, and the page converts it to the other seven using square feet as the base.
Why do Gaj and square yard show the same number?
Both rows use the same factor of 9 square feet, because Gaj is the local name for a square yard in this converter. The two rows stay identical by design, and neither is affected by the Marla size field.
How many decimals does the result show?
Each row shows up to four decimals and no trailing zeros beyond that, with thousands separators for your page language. A result of 5445 appears as 5,445 in English and with the matching separator in other languages.
Does the Marla setting change the Kanal value?
Yes. Kanal is calculated as 20 times the Marla size, so editing that field moves both rows. The page warns that local Marla and Kanal sizes differ by region, so confirm the definition used in your area before quoting an area.
Is my plot area sent anywhere?
No. The conversion happens in the page and the value you type is not uploaded or stored. Reloading the page clears the entry and restores the default Marla size of 272.25.
