Milliliter
A milliliter (mL) is a small metric unit of volume used to measure liquids and very small quantities. One milliliter is equal to one cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm³) and one-thousandth of a liter (1000 mL = 1 L). Because of its precision, the milliliter is commonly used in medicine, cooking, product packaging, and scientific experiments.
You’ll find milliliters marked on measuring cups, beverage labels, and syringes. When you need to convert milliliters to other units — such as teaspoons, tablespoons, or fluid ounces — an online converter makes it easy to avoid errors in recipes and dosage instructions.
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.
