To convert kanals to marlas, use marlas = kanals × 20. For example, 5 kanal = 100 marla. This page uses 1 marla = 225 sq ft by default (LDA, DHA and most housing schemes); switch to 272.25 sq ft for revenue records.
What does this tool do?
This kanal to marla converter converts area units from square feet to acres, marlas and kanals the moment you type — no buttons to press, no page reloads. The converted value appears with the formula used, so you can see exactly how the answer was produced and reuse it in homework, bills or documents. A swap button (⇄) reverses the direction instantly, and the From and To dropdowns give you every area unit the converter knows, not just this pair. A “Copy result” button puts the answer on your clipboard for pasting into WhatsApp, Excel or a quotation.
Keep it bookmarked or on your home screen — utilities prove their worth through repetition, and the one you can open in two taps is the one you will actually use when the need strikes.

Table uses 1 marla = 225 sq ft.
What are these units?
Kanal (kanal): Twenty marla. 4,500 sq ft with a 225 sq ft marla, or 5,445 sq ft with a 272.25 sq ft marla.
Marla (marla): A South Asian land unit. 225 sq ft in most Lahore housing schemes (LDA, DHA), 272.25 sq ft in revenue records.
Use cases in Pakistan
Property is where area conversion matters most in Pakistan. Dealers quote plots in marlas and kanals while official allotment letters and bank papers often use square feet or square yards; a 5-marla house and a 1-kanal plot are compared far more easily in one unit. Use the marla-size options above the result (225, 250 or 272.25 sq ft) to match your record: housing societies such as DHA and Bahria Town use 225 sq ft per marla, while revenue (patwari) records use 272.25. Farmers converting acres to kanals for land papers will find the same options handy.
These are the tools people recommend to each other on WhatsApp — simple, free, no install — because they solve the small problems everyone hits: timing something, picking fairly, testing a device. Bookmark the ones you use; they age well.
Limitations
Square-unit factors are exact, but the marla and kanal are customary units whose size varies: 225 sq ft in most housing societies, 250 in some schemes, and 272.25 in revenue records. Always confirm which marla your document uses — the selector above the result lets you match it. For registered land transactions, rely on the official measurement in your registry papers, not a conversion.
Convenience tools are not certified instruments: fine for everyday purposes, but do not stake safety, money or legal outcomes on a browser utility. Know which category your use falls into.
