- Which land units does Plotzy convert?
- Bigha, biswa, biswansi, gaj, katha, guntha, cent, ground, kanal, marla, acre, hectare, square feet, square metres, square yards, perch, rood, arpent and more. You pick your country — the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, or India by state — and Plotzy shows the units people actually use there.
- How do I convert bigha to acre, or gaj to square feet?
- Enter the value and its unit, choose the unit you want, and Plotzy shows the exact result — bigha to acre, gaj to square feet, acre to hectare, hectare to acre, square metre to gaj, kanal to marla, or any other pair your country uses. Below it, the same area is shown in every other local unit at once.
- How accurate are the conversions?
- Every universal unit comes from its legal definition (1 foot = 0.3048 m exactly), and figures stay exact even when you convert back and forth, so they never drift. Rounded results are marked with ≈, and holding any result copies its full-precision value.
- Does it handle regional units like the bigha that vary by place?
- Yes. Units that change from place to place are marked REGIONAL, with the exact value used shown right beside the result, and the Guide cites where each one comes from — laws, government manuals and court judgments. If your area uses a different bigha, set your own value and any result that uses it is marked YOURS.
- Can I draw a plot and get its area?
- Yes. Enter a rectangle, a triangle, or a four- to eight-sided plot and Plotzy draws it to scale, gives its area in your local units and its fence line, and tells you honestly when four sides alone can only estimate the area.
- Can I compare land prices quoted in different units?
- Yes. Turn any rate — per gaj, per acre, per square metre, per square foot — into a total price, shown in lakh and crore for India, and put two listings quoted in different units onto the same price-per-unit basis so you can compare them directly.
- Which countries and regions does Plotzy support?
- The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and India by state — each showing its own local units. The universal units (acre, hectare, square metre, square foot) work anywhere in the world, so you can use Plotzy to convert them from any country.
- Is Plotzy free, and does it show ads?
- Plotzy is free, with no in-app purchases. It is supported by a single banner advertisement from Google AdMob. Where the law requires it — the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and some US states — you are asked about ads before any is shown, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time in Settings › Ad privacy choices.
- Is my data private, and does it work offline?
- Your settings and saved results stay on your device — there is no account, and nothing you convert, draw or save is uploaded. The conversions run entirely on your device and work offline; the only thing that goes online is the banner ad.
- Can I rely on Plotzy for an official record or a sale?
- Treat Plotzy as a well-sourced reference, not a substitute for a licensed surveyor, an official land record, or legal advice. Universal units convert exactly; customary units like the bigha genuinely vary by place, so Plotzy marks them REGIONAL, shows the value it used, and cites its source in the Guide. For anything that carries legal or financial weight, check the figure against your local authority or record before you rely on it.
