Volume Converter

Convert between 21 units of volume — metric, US, UK imperial, cooking, and cubic units.

What is Volume?

Volume is the three-dimensional space that something occupies — how much liquid fits in a bottle, how much air fills a room, how much soil moves in a construction project. The SI unit is the cubic metre (m³), but practical measurement uses dozens of units depending on context: litres for beverages and lab work, US gallons for fuel and milk in the US, UK imperial gallons for fuel and milk in the UK and Caribbean, fluid ounces for cosmetics, cups and tablespoons for cooking, cubic feet for shipping, cubic centimetres for engine displacement, and barrels for oil. The unit conversions are simple linear factors, but watch for the US-vs-UK gallon trap (a US gallon is 3.78 L, a UK gallon is 4.55 L) and the US-vs-metric cup trap (US 237 mL, metric 250 mL). This Volume Converter handles 21 units at once. Need linear distance instead? Use the Length Converter. Working with surface area? Try the Area Converter.
