Square inches are used for small surfaces such as tiles, screens, signs and pizzas, while rooms and building materials are priced by the square foot. A square foot is 12 inches by 12 inches, so it holds 144 square inches, and dividing by 144 converts square inches to square feet.
The result is rounded to 4 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. You can type decimals, thousands separators or fractions such as 2 1/2, and the conversion table below lists common values.

From Inches to Square Feet
When a surface is measured in inches, find its area first, then convert:
- Measure the length and the width in inches.
- Multiply them to get square inches. A 30-inch by 24-inch rug is 720 square inches.
- Divide by 144. 720 square inches is 5 square feet.
Measurements in feet and inches need one more step: write them all in inches, or all in feet. write 10 feet 6 inches as 126 inches, or as 10.5 feet, and the Feet to Inches Converter does that step. The Square Footage Calculator takes mixed feet and inches directly.
