Convert a volume from liters to milliliters. Enter the number of liters above to get the result instantly.
How to Convert Liters to Milliliters
One liter contains exactly 1,000 milliliters. To convert liters to milliliters, multiply the amount by 1,000:
mL = L × 1,000
Example: Convert 1.5 liters to milliliters
Multiply 1.5 by 1,000:
1.5 L × 1,000 = 1,500 mL
Why Do We Multiply by 1,000?
The prefix milli means one-thousandth. A milliliter is one-thousandth of a liter, so it takes 1,000 milliliters to make one liter.
1 L = 1,000 mL
1 mL = 0.001 L
1 mL = 1 cm³

Liters to Milliliters FAQ
Multiply the number of liters by 1,000:
mL = L × 1,000
One liter contains exactly 1,000 milliliters.
Half a liter is 0.5 liters. Multiply by 1,000:
0.5 L × 1,000 = 500 mL
Multiply 1.5 by 1,000:
1.5 L = 1,500 mL
First convert 2 liters to 2,000 milliliters. Then divide by 250:
2,000 mL ÷ 250 mL = 8
You can fill eight 250 mL glasses.
Divide the number of milliliters by 1,000:
L = mL ÷ 1,000
For example, 750 mL equals 0.75 L.
Write the formula, insert the given value, and include the unit. For example:
2.4 L × 1,000 = 2,400 mL
No. The volume stays the same; only the unit and number change. For example, 2 L and 2,000 mL describe the same amount.
