What it is
Volume Converter turns milliliters, liters, cubic meters, cubic inches, cubic feet, gallons, quarts, pints and fluid ounces into each other as you type. 1 liter equals about 0.264 US gallons, and 500 ml equal about 16.91 US fluid ounces: useful for recipes, packaging or tanks labeled in a different system than you're used to. Important note: gallons, quarts, pints and fluid ounces here follow the US customary standard (1 US gallon = 3.785411784 liters), not the UK imperial system (1 UK gallon ≈ 4.546 liters) — the two systems aren't interchangeable, and this tool states clearly which one it's using.
- From ml to US gallons: 11 units, from the lab to the kitchen to the workshop
- 1 L ≈ 0.264 US gal, 500 ml ≈ 16.91 US fl oz: ready for US labels and recipes
- US customary system stated explicitly (not UK imperial): avoids confusing 1 US gal = 3.785 L with 1 UK gal ≈ 4.546 L

Features
US customary, not UK imperial
Gallon, quart, pint and fluid ounce follow the US standard: 1 US gal = 3.785411784 L, different from the British imperial gallon (≈4.546 L). Stating this explicitly avoids a very common mistake.
From the lab to the kitchen
ml, cl, dl and liters for everyday and scientific use, m³/ft³/in³ for larger volumes: 11 units in one tool.
Common conversions table
Standard multiples (1, 5, 10, 50 L...) already calculated below the result, for instant comparisons without doing the math.

FAQ
The US gallon measures 3.785411784 liters, the British imperial gallon about 4.546 liters — roughly 20% more. This tool always uses the US customary standard, stated explicitly to avoid confusion.
About 29.57 ml (0.0295735295625 liters).
Divide by 3.785411784: 1 liter equals about 0.264 US gallons.
US customary for every gallon/quart/pint/fluid ounce unit — stated explicitly to avoid the common mistake of mixing up the two systems.
Cups, tablespoons and teaspoons are cooking units: use the dedicated cooking converter, which also converts them to grams for 8 curated ingredients.
