Convert between liters, gallons, cubic meters, and more.
Volume conversion is essential for cooking, chemistry, engineering, and international commerce. Our Volume Converter instantly converts between liters, gallons, cubic meters, cups, and other volume units, supporting accurate measurements across different systems worldwide.
Metric Units: Milliliter (mL), Liter (L), Cubic Meter (m³) - used globally in science, cooking, and most countries
Imperial Units: Fluid Ounce (fl oz), Cup (c), Pint (pt), Quart (qt), Gallon (gal) - used in the United States and some other countries
Cooking & Baking: Converting recipe measurements between metric and imperial systems
Chemistry: Precise volume measurements for chemical reactions and experiments
Beverages: Converting bottle and container sizes between systems
Pool/Tank Maintenance: Calculating water volumes for chemicals and treatments
Fuel Consumption: Converting fuel tank capacities between liters and gallons
Packaging: Converting between volume units for product sizes

Medium Containers: Liters for milk, juice, and cooking liquids
Large Containers: Gallons for bulk liquids, water storage, and fuel
Industrial: Cubic meters for large-scale volumes
Historical development and regional standards led to different volume systems. The metric system (liters) is simpler but imperial units (gallons, cups) remain common in the US.
For most cooking, cup measurements are acceptable. For precise baking, weight measurements in grams are more accurate.
In the US, liquid and dry measurements use different cup sizes, though both are called "cups". Always check recipe units carefully.
