Volume Converter
Volume measures how much three-dimensional space a substance occupies. The liter and milliliter are common metric units, while cooking and fuel use US customary units (cups, gallons) or Imperial units. US liquid, US dry, and Imperial measures are three separate families of the same names, so they are listed separately here.

About volume conversion
Volume conversion is commonly needed when cooking recipes, fuel, beverages, and container capacity. US and Imperial liquid measures differ, so a US cup or gallon is not the same size as its UK counterpart.
