Square Yards to Square Feet
A square yard is 9 square feet, commonly used to measure carpet and turf in the US and UK. The square foot is used throughout the US and UK to describe the floor area of homes and offices. 1 yd² equals 9 ft², so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to area, measured here against area's base unit (m²) — every other area unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
ft² = yd² × 9
yd² = ft² × ≈0.111111
