Regional units used here
This converter uses the standard Punjab/Pakistan definition of a Marla — 272.25 square feet — and a Kanal as exactly 20 Marla, which also works out to 5,445 square feet, or precisely ⅛ of an acre. Worth noting: marla size has historically varied by region and era in different parts of South Asia, so always confirm the specific definition your local land records or deed use if precision matters for a legal or transactional purpose.
How the conversion works
Every unit converts through a common base (square feet) internally: your input value converts to square feet first, then from square feet into your target unit. This keeps the conversion table consistent and lets you convert directly between any two units, not just to and from square feet.
