1 square mile equals 2.58998811 square kilometers — enter any square mile value to convert it to square kilometers instantly.

A reference table lists common square mile values already converted, and nothing you enter is sent to a server.

A slider sets 0–10 decimal places, and very small or very large results switch to scientific notation instead of rounding to zero.
