How to convert milliliters to liters
Drink bottles, medicine and lab volumes: 1,000 mL make one liter.
To convert milliliters to liters, use L = mL ÷ 1000. One milliliter equals 0.001 liters, and one liter equals 1,000 milliliters.
Milliliter (mL): 1/1000 L = 1 cm³. Liter (L): 1 dm³ = 1/1000 m³.
For the opposite direction, use the Liters to milliliters converter. All volume units are on the volume converter.
