How to convert liters to milliliters
Multiply the value in l by 1,000: the result is in ml.
ml = l × 1,000The other way round, 1 ml = 0.001 l.
Where these two units are used
The liter does not belong to the international system, which merely tolerates it: it has been exactly one cubic decimeter since 1964, after sixty years of being defined by the mass of water, which made it twenty-eight parts per million larger. The milliliter equals the cubic centimeter exactly, and it is the unit of syrup doses, syringes and cosmetic bottles. The threshold is crossed at the bottle: syrup is dosed in milliliters, water is bought in liters, and a thousand separates them without either giving ground.

Frequently asked questions
How many ml in a liter?
1000 ml, exactly. The liter is defined as one cubic decimeter, which is 1000 cubic centimeters, and one cubic centimeter is one milliliter.
What is 1 liter to ml?
1000 ml. Multiply liters by 1000: 0.5 l is 500 ml, 1.5 l is 1500 ml, and 2 l is 2000 ml.
Is a liter always 1000 ml?
Yes, since 1964. For sixty years before that the liter was defined by the volume of a kilogram of water, which made it a hair larger than a cubic decimeter, and the definition was returned to exactly one cubic decimeter.
