Liters to ML Converter
Convert liters to milliliters — a thousand to the liter. Results update as you type; exact factors shown.
One liter is 1,000 milliliters — see the exact factor, not a rounded rule of thumb.
How the liters to ml converter works
Volumes convert through the liter (exactly 1 dm³). The US gallon is exactly 3.785411784 L (231 cubic inches); the imperial gallon is exactly 4.54609 L. A US fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL, an imperial fluid ounce 28.4131 mL; a US pint is 16 US fl oz, an imperial pint 20 imperial fl oz.
The US uses customary units (US gallon, short ton, °F) in daily life; NIST SP 811 gives the exact SI factors.
