A square inch is a unit used to measure area.

The square inch is a US customary and imperial unit of area. A square inch is sometimes also referred to as a square in. Square inches can be abbreviated as sq in, and are also sometimes abbreviated as in². For example, 1 square inch can be written as 1 sq in or 1 in².

You can use an area calculator to calculate the area of a space in square inches if you know the dimensions.

How Much Is a Square Inch?

One square inch is equivalent to the area of a square with sides that are each 1 inch in length. One square inch is equal to 1/144 of a square foot or 1/1,296 of a square yard.

How to Convert Square Inches

To convert square inches to another unit of area, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]

You can find the conversion factors for square inches in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the area measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

square inches × conversion factor = result
