Millilitres to Quarts (mL to qt)
A US liquid quart is exactly 946.352946 mL, so quarts = millilitres ÷ 946.352946: 1,000 mL is 1.0567 quarts, 500 mL is 0.5283 quarts and 2,000 mL is 2.1134 quarts. This page opens the converter on millilitres into quarts whatever pair you converted last, answers as you type with no button to press, and prints the headline to twelve significant digits, so 1,000 mL reads 1.05668820943. Under the answer the same amount is listed in every common volume unit: litres, cubic metres, teaspoons, tablespoons, US fluid ounces, cups, pints, quarts and gallons, because a volume is easier to judge beside the units already printed on the carton. The quart here is the US liquid quart of 32 US fluid ounces, which is what an American recipe, milk carton or oil bottle means; the imperial quart of 1,136.5225 mL and the US dry quart of 1,101.220942715 mL are different sizes, and the questions below give the arithmetic for both.

Millilitres to quarts, pints, cups and fluid ounces
Every figure is the converter's own output for that many millilitres, rounded for reading: quarts to four decimal places, pints and cups to three, US fluid ounces to two. The 473.176473, 946.352946, 1,892.705892 and 3,785.411784 mL rows are exact, because those amounts are the definitions of a half, one, two and four US liquid quarts.

Common questions
- How many quarts is 1,000 mL?
- 1.0567 quarts, a little over one quart. The converter prints 1.05668820943 as the headline, because a US liquid quart is 946.352946 mL and 1,000 does not divide into it evenly. The amounts asked for next most often: 250 mL is 0.2642 quarts, 500 mL is 0.5283 quarts, 750 mL is 0.7925 quarts, 1,500 mL is 1.585 quarts, 2,000 mL is 2.1134 quarts and 5,000 mL is 5.2834 quarts. Type any of them into the From box and the answer appears without pressing anything.
- How do I convert mL to quarts myself?
- Divide by 946.352946, or multiply by 0.00105668820943, which is the same operation. A US liquid quart is a quarter of a US gallon, that gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so 946.352946 mL is a definition rather than a measurement and the page carries all of its digits. Going the other way, multiply quarts by 946.352946. The Swap units button between the two boxes turns this page into a quarts to millilitres converter without reloading it.
- How many mL in a quart, half a quart and two quarts?
- One US quart is 946.352946 mL, half a quart is 473.176473 mL, a quarter quart is 236.5882365 mL, one and a half quarts is 1,419.529419 mL, two quarts is 1,892.705892 mL, and four quarts, a US gallon, is 3,785.411784 mL. A kitchen jug reads those as roughly 946, 473, 237, 1,420, 1,893 and 3,785 mL. To get them from this page, press Swap units so quarts feed millilitres, then type the amount as a decimal: 0.5 rather than 1/2, since the field takes digits, one decimal point and an optional minus sign, with thousands commas allowed.
- Is a quart the same as a litre?
- No, and the gap is what usually trips a recipe up. A US quart is 0.946352946 litres, about 5.4 percent smaller than a litre, and a litre is 1.05668820943 quarts. So a 1 litre bottle holds a little more than a quart, a 1.75 litre bottle is 1.8492 quarts and a 2 litre bottle is 2.1134 quarts rather than 2. The litre is the first row in the all-units list under the answer, so millilitres, quarts and litres are on screen together.
- Is this the US quart or the imperial quart?
- The US liquid quart of 946.352946 mL, which is what a US recipe or carton means. An imperial quart is a quarter of an imperial gallon: 1,136.5225 mL, or 1.2009 US quarts, so it is about a fifth larger. It is not a separate entry in this converter's menu, so divide millilitres by 1,136.5225 for imperial quarts, or switch on Show 5 more and read the imperial pint row, which is exactly half an imperial quart. The US dry quart of 1,101.220942715 mL, used for berries and other produce, is not in the menu either.
- How many fluid ounces, cups and pints are in a quart?
- Exactly 32 US fluid ounces, 4 US cups and 2 US pints, and those three are exact because all of them are defined from the same 231 cubic inch gallon. In millilitres, a US fluid ounce is 29.5735295625 mL, a cup is 236.5882365 mL and a pint is 473.176473 mL. That puts a 355 mL can, the 12 fluid ounce size, at 0.3751 quarts, and 750 mL, the wine bottle, at 0.7925 quarts. Every one of those units is listed under the headline for whatever amount you type, so you do not have to convert twice.
- Why does the answer show so many decimal places, and how do I copy it?
- Because millilitres rarely land on a whole number of quarts: 1 mL is 0.00105668820943 quarts. Results print to twelve significant digits with trailing zeros dropped, so 946.352946 mL comes out as a clean 1 rather than 0.99999999, and you can round where you want. The Copy result button copies the figure exactly as printed but without the thousands separators, so it pastes straight into a spreadsheet.
- Does anything I type leave my browser?
- No. The conversion is one division against a table of factors that ships with the page, so there is no upload and no account, and it keeps working with no network connection once the page has loaded. The amount you typed is kept in your own browser storage so the field is where you left it next time, the Start over button at the top of the page clears it, and opening this page on millilitres to quarts does not disturb the pair the main converter remembers.
Conversion factors are the exact legal definitions where one exists. An inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a pound exactly 0.45359237 kg, so those conversions are exact rather than approximate. Temperature uses offsets rather than factors, and that is shown in the working.
