What the Volume Converter does
This tool converts between metric and US volume units for cooking, science, fuel, and shipping.

- Press Convert to read the result below.
A note on cups and ounces
Cooking units differ by country. This converter uses US customary measures, where 1 cup is about 236.6 mL and 1 fluid ounce is about 29.6 mL, so it matches most US recipes. For UK or metric recipe cups, expect a small difference. The math runs locally in your browser, so your numbers are never uploaded.
