The volume converter combines metric volume units with US gallons, quarts, pints, and cups. Every conversion uses litres as the common base.

When to use this tool

  • Convert a container capacity from litres to US gallons.
  • Translate a cooking quantity between millilitres and US cups.

How to use

  1. Enter a finite volume.
  2. Choose the source and destination units.
  3. Read and copy the converted value.

Example

Litres to US gallons

Entering 1 litre returns approximately 0.264172052 US gallon.

How it works

  • One cubic metre equals 1,000 litres; one US liquid gallon is represented as 3.785411784 litres.

Limits and notes

  • The gallon, quart, pint, and cup options are US liquid units, not imperial units.
  • The tool converts volume and does not account for density when converting ingredients by mass.

Frequently asked questions

Which gallon does the tool use?

It uses the US liquid gallon. An imperial gallon has a different volume and is not offered.

Can litres be converted directly to kilograms?

Not without the substance density, which this volume-only tool does not request.
