Liters to Milliliters (L to mL) Converter
1 liter (L) = 1,000 milliliters (mL). To convert liters to milliliters, multiply by 1,000: 2 L × 1,000 = 2,000 mL. Also searched as litre to milliliter, litres to milliliter, litres to millilitres.
Quick facts
- 1 L = 1,000 mL
- 1 mL = 0.001 L
- Formula: mL = L × 1,000
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 1000
How to convert liters to milliliters
- Take the value in liters.
- Multiply it by 1,000 (the number of milliliters in one liter).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example (a large bottle of water): 2 L × 1,000 = 2000 mL.
To convert milliliters back to liters, multiply by 0.001, or divide by 1,000.
