Liters to Quarts Converter

What is a liters to quarts converter?

A liters to quarts converter is a tool that translates a volume measured in liters (L), the metric unit of capacity, into US liquid quarts (qt), a customary unit common in the United States. Liters appear on most bottles, cartons, and recipes outside the US, while quarts are everyday units in American kitchens. The converter bridges these two systems so you never have to memorize the factor or reach for a calculator.

Because the relationship between the units is fixed, the conversion is exact and instant: enter a value in either field and the matching volume appears in the other.

Formula

One US liquid quart equals 946.353 milliliters and one liter equals 1000 milliliters. Dividing the two gives the conversion factor:

$\text{Quarts} = \frac{\text{Liters} \times 1000}{946.353} = \text{Liters} \times 1.056688$

To go the other way:

$\text{Liters} = \text{Quarts} \times 0.946353$

How to convert liters to quarts

1. Take your volume in liters.
2. Multiply it by 1.056688.
3. The result is the equivalent volume in US liquid quarts.

For example, to convert 2 liters: 2 × 1.056688 = 2.113376 quarts. To reverse a value, multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353 instead.

Worked examples

• 1 liter to quarts: 1 × 1.056688 = 1.056688 US quarts.
• 1 quart to liters: 1 × 0.946353 = 0.946353 liters.

These are the same numbers used to verify the converter, so you can trust the results down to several decimal places.
