Volume conversions come up constantly in cooking, shipping, construction and chemistry — a recipe in cups needs to become milliliters, a shipping container's capacity in cubic meters needs to become gallons, a lab measurement in fluid ounces needs to become liters. This tool lets you enter a value once and see it converted to every common volume unit at the same time — metric, US customary and imperial.
Every volume unit converts through the liter (L). To convert from unit A to unit B:
All volume units are linear multiples of the liter, so every conversion here is straightforward multiplication or division.
| Unit | Symbol | Value in Liters |
|---|---|---|
| Milliliter | mL | 0.001 |
| Liter | L | 1 |
| Cubic Meter | m³ | 1,000 |
| Cubic Centimeter | cm³ | 0.001 |
| Cubic Inch | in³ | 0.016387064 |
| Cubic Foot | ft³ | 28.316846592 |
| US Gallon | gal (US) | 3.785411784 |
| UK Gallon | gal (UK) | 4.54609 |
| US Quart | qt (US) | 0.946352946 |
| US Pint | pt (US) | 0.473176473 |
| US Cup | cup (US) | 0.2365882365 |
| US Fluid Ounce | fl oz (US) | 0.0295735295625 |
| US Tablespoon | tbsp (US) | 0.0147867647813 |
| US Teaspoon | tsp (US) | 0.00492892159375 |
Note: cubic centimeter and milliliter are numerically identical (1 cm³ = 1 mL exactly), but both are listed since each is common in its own context (cm³ in engineering/medicine, mL in cooking/chemistry). US customary units (gallon, quart, pint, cup, fl oz, tbsp, tsp) differ from UK imperial units — only the UK gallon is included here since it's the one most often confused with its US counterpart.
Example 1 — Liters to US Gallons
A 20 L fuel can: 20 ÷ 3.785411784 L/gal ≈ 5.28 US gal.
Example 2 — Cups to Milliliters
A recipe calling for 2 cups: 2 × 236.5882365 mL/cup ≈ 473.18 mL.
Example 3 — Cubic Meters to US Gallons
A 1 m³ water tank: 1,000 L ÷ 3.785411784 L/gal ≈ 264.17 US gal.
Example 4 — US Gallon vs UK Gallon
A car rated at 1 UK gallon: 4.54609 L, which converts to 4.54609 ÷ 3.785411784 ≈ 1.20 US gal — the UK gallon is about 20% larger than the US gallon.
