Volume Converter

There are 1,000 milliliters in one liter. Milliliters are used for small volumes like medicine doses and cosmetics, while liters are used for larger volumes like beverage bottles and fuel tanks.

Multiply the number of US cups by 236.588 to get milliliters. For example, 2 cups equals about 473.2 mL. Note that a US cup differs slightly from a UK/imperial cup, so recipes from different countries may need adjustment.

There are 128 US fluid ounces in one US gallon. A US gallon also equals 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 16 cups, and is equivalent to about 3.785 liters — slightly smaller than the UK imperial gallon.

Divide the number of liters by 1,000 to get cubic meters, since 1 cubic meter equals exactly 1,000 liters. This conversion is common in construction, shipping, and industrial contexts that measure large volumes.

A US gallon equals about 3.785 liters, while a UK (imperial) gallon equals about 4.546 liters — roughly 20% larger. This difference also applies to pints, quarts, and fluid ounces, so recipes and fuel economy figures can differ significantly between the two systems.

A comprehensive volume converter supports metric units like milliliters, liters, and cubic meters, plus US customary units like teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons — covering both cooking measurements and larger industrial volumes.
