Liter Converters

Convert liters to milliliters, gallons, quarts, pints, cups, fluid ounces, cubic feet and other volume units.

What this tool does

Convert liters to milliliters, gallons, quarts, pints, cups, fluid ounces, cubic feet and other volume units. Type an amount in liters, choose the units, and the tool converts it to milliliters. It offers 22 volume units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 22 options, including Liter, Milliliter, Centiliter, Deciliter, Hectoliter, Kiloliter. Starts as Liter.
  • To: Choose one of the same 22 units as "From". Starts as Milliliter.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from liters to milliliters:

  • 1 L = 1,000 mL
  • 5 L = 5,000 mL
  • 10 L = 10,000 mL
  • 50 L = 50,000 mL
  • 100 L = 100,000 mL

Multiply the number of liters by 1,000 to get milliliters. Both units are exact definitions, so 1,000 is the exact factor: 1 L = 1,000 mL.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a volume only. It does not work out a volume from dimensions or weight.
  • Sizes of cups, spoons, gallons and barrels differ between countries. Check that the unit chosen matches your recipe or source.
