What this tool does

Convert volume units instantly between Liters, Gallons, Cubic Meters, and more. Type an amount in liters, choose the units, and the tool converts it to milliliters. It offers 11 volume units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 11 options, including Liter, Milliliter, Cubic meter, Cubic centimeter, US liquid gallon, US liquid quart. Starts as Liter.
  • To: Choose one of the same 11 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.

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.
