Liter
A liter (L) is a common unit of volume in the metric system. It represents the amount of space that one cubic decimeter occupies, making it perfect for measuring liquids and everyday containers. You’ll see liters used for beverages, fuel, cleaning products, and anything that pours — from water bottles to milk cartons.
Because liters are part of the metric system, they convert cleanly with milliliters (1 L = 1000 mL) and cubic meters (1 m³ = 1000 L). When switching between metric and US or UK units — like gallons, cups, or fluid ounces — a conversion tool provides quick and accurate results, especially in cooking or travel.
Fluid Ounce
A fluid ounce (fl oz) is a common US customary unit of volume used to measure liquids such as beverages, cooking ingredients, and personal care products. One US fluid ounce equals 1/8 of a cup or about 29.57 milliliters. You’ll often find this unit printed on drink bottles, medicine labels, and kitchen tools where precise small measurements are needed.
Because the fluid ounce is commonly used in the United States while many other countries rely on the metric system, converting fluid ounces to milliliters, cups, or liters is a frequent need. A converter helps provide quick, accurate results that make cooking and product comparisons easier.
