What Is This Tool?
This tool converts area values from square meters (m²), the SI derived unit of area, to square inches (in²), a unit from the Imperial/US customary system. It helps translate measurements between metric and customary units for various professional and practical uses.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the area value in square meters.
-
Select square meters as the starting unit and square inches as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in square inches.
-
Use the result for planning, design, or documentation purposes.

Key Terminology
-
Square meter [m²]
-
The SI derived unit of area defined by a square with sides one meter long, used to quantify two-dimensional surfaces.
-
Square inch [in²]
-
An area unit in the Imperial/US customary system equal to the area of a square with one-inch sides, where 1 in² = 6.4516 cm².
-
Conversion rate
-
The numerical factor used to multiply a value in square meters to obtain its equivalent in square inches, specifically 1 m² = 1550.0031 in².
