What is the US survey square foot?

It is a unit of area based on the U.S. survey foot used mainly in land surveying and legal property descriptions, differing slightly from the international foot.

Can I use this converter for international square foot units?

No, this converter specifically uses the US survey foot, which differs from the international foot, so separate conversions would be necessary.
