Cooking from an international recipe or sizing a container means juggling litres, millilitres, gallons and cups. This converter handles them so you do not have to guess.
Litres are the base: 1 litre is about 0.264 US gallons, and 1 US cup is roughly 237 ml. So 2 litres is a little over half a US gallon, and 500 ml is a bit more than two cups.
Be aware that US and UK/imperial gallons and cups differ, so pick the right one — a US gallon is about 3.79 litres while a UK gallon is about 4.55 litres.
No. A US gallon is about 3.79 litres and a UK (imperial) gallon about 4.55 litres — roughly 20% larger. Cups differ too, so match the unit to the recipe’s origin.
A US cup is about 237 ml and a metric cup is 250 ml. For baking, small differences matter, so use the cup that matches your recipe.
Yes, litres, millilitres, cups and other common measures are supported.
