Quarts to Cups

Quart

A quart (qt) is a US customary unit of volume commonly used for measuring liquids like milk, juice, and cooking ingredients. One quart equals 4 cups, 2 pints, or 32 fluid ounces, making it a convenient size for everyday food and beverage containers. The word comes from “quarter,” representing one-quarter of a US gallon.

Quarts can be confusing in international contexts because the US and UK (Imperial) systems define the quart differently. A conversion tool helps ensure correct results when switching between quarts, liters, gallons, and other units used around the world.

Cup

A cup (c) is a popular unit of volume used mainly in the United States for cooking, beverages, and everyday household measurements. One US cup equals 8 fluid ounces or 16 tablespoons, making it a convenient size for recipes and serving portions. Because measuring cups are easy to find in most kitchens, the cup has become a standard reference in baking and cooking instructions.

Converting cups to metric units — such as milliliters or liters — can be tricky because recipes around the world use different standards. An online converter makes it simple to switch between systems and follow international cooking guides accurately.
