Satellite Area Calculator

Free area & distance on satellite imagery — measure any lot, roof, or field, right on the map.

Calculate area from dimensions

Already know the measurements? Pick a shape and enter its sides to get the area in square feet, square meters, square yards, acres and hectares at once. For an irregular lot, roof or field, trace it on the satellite map above instead.

Area = length × width

How to measure an irregular area on the map

  1. Find the place. Type an address or place name in the search box, then zoom in until the edges you want to measure are clear.
  2. Trace it. Click Draw Area, click each corner of the boundary, then click the first corner again to close it. Use Draw Radius for circles and Draw Line for distances such as fence runs.
  3. Read the results. The side panel shows the area and perimeter; switch between acres, square feet, square meters, hectares and more at any time.
  4. Refine and keep it. Drag any corner to adjust the shape. Sign in to save the map or share it with a link.

How accurate is it?

Shapes drawn on the map are measured with spherical geometry on the Earth's surface, so the math holds from a backyard to a county. In practice, accuracy depends on how precisely you trace: on clear imagery a careful outline typically lands within a few percent of a surveyed figure. These are planning estimates, not a legal survey.
