Are vs Square Yard: which is bigger?
A are is the larger unit: one are equals 119.599 square yards. Put another way, you need 119.599 square yards to make a single are.
What is a Are? History, origin and usage
The are is the original metric unit of land area, established by the French Revolutionary metric law of 1795 as 100 square metres. Its name comes from the Latin area, and it gave rise to the much more widely used hectare (100 ares).
Today the are itself is rarely used in everyday measurement, having been largely displaced by the square metre and the hectare. It survives mainly in a few European cadastral contexts and as the building block from which the hectare is defined.
One are is a square of 10 metres by 10 metres, and 100 ares make one hectare. It is one of the few metric units whose name survives chiefly inside a larger derived unit.
What is a Square Yard? History, origin and usage
Yd-squared denotes the square yard, an imperial and US-customary unit equal to a square one yard on each side, or nine square feet. The underlying yard is an old English length standard later defined exactly in metric terms.
It is used for plots, carpet and fabric, and in South Asia it is exactly the gaj used for residential land. North Indian property is often quoted interchangeably in square yards and gaj.
One square yard equals nine square feet and one gaj, and there are 4,840 square yards in an acre. A 100-square-yard plot is the same as a 100-gaj plot.

How to use this Are to Square Yard converter
Type a number into the Are field and the equivalent in Square Yard appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Square Yard field to convert the other way (square yard to are). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 are = 119.599yd²), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for are-to-square yard conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Indian land units can vary by state and local custom. This converter uses the most widely accepted standard value; always confirm against your local revenue records (patwari / tehsil) for legal transactions.
