Volume Converter
Convert volume between liters, milliliters, gallons, quarts, pints, cups, fluid ounces, cubic meters, cubic feet, cubic inches, tablespoons, teaspoons, and more. Fast, accurate, and easy to use.
How Volume Conversion Works
Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by a substance or object. This converter supports both liquid volume units (liters, gallons, cups, etc.) and cubic units (cubic meters, cubic feet, etc.).
The calculator uses the following base unit relationships:
1 Liter (L) = 1,000 mL = 0.001 m³ = 1,000 cm³
1 US Gallon = 3.785411784 L
1 US Quart = 0.946352946 L
1 US Pint = 0.473176473 L
1 US Cup = 0.2365882365 L
1 US Fluid Ounce = 0.02957352956 L
1 Cubic Foot = 28.316846592 L
1 Cubic Inch = 0.016387064 L
All conversions are performed by first converting the input value to liters, then converting to the target unit. This ensures consistent and accurate results across all unit combinations.
Common Volume Conversions
