Convert milliliter to liter
Please provide values below to convert milliliter [mL] to liter [L, l], or Convert liter to milliliter.
1 mL = 0.001 L, l. To convert milliliter to liter, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 L, l = 1000 mL). Both units measure volume and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mL = 0.001 L, l
- 1 L, l = 1000 mL
- 10 mL = 0.01 L, l
- 100 mL = 0.1 L, l
How to Convert Milliliter to Liter
1 mL = 0.001 L, l
Example: convert 15 mL to L, l:
15 mL = 15 × 0.001 L, l = 0.015 L, l

Milliliter
A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The milliliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century, aligning with the liter as the base unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
The milliliter is widely used in science, medicine, cooking, and everyday measurements to quantify liquids and small volumes.
Liter
The liter (L, l) is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and other substances.
History/Origin
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system, based on the cubic decimeter, and has since become a standard unit of volume worldwide.
Current Use
The liter is widely used in science, industry, and daily life for measuring liquids, beverages, and other fluids, especially in countries using the metric system.
Frequently Asked Questions
