Liters to Gallons Converter
Liters to Gallons Converter
Liters to gallons is one of the most common volume conversions, needed constantly for fuel prices, beverage container sizes, and cooking quantities when comparing the metric world to the US, which still uses gallons for fuel and liquid measures.
This tool isn't limited to a single pair: the "From" and "To" dropdowns cover the full range of volume units — metric (milliliters through cubic meters), US customary (fluid and dry gallons, quarts, pints, cups, ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons), Imperial (UK gallons, pints, gills), and specialized units (barrels, bushels, pecks, hogsheads, cords, acre-feet).
- Conversion factor: 1 liter = 0.264172 U.S. fluid gallons (and 1 U.S. gallon = exactly 3.785411784 liters, by legal US definition).
- Fully flexible: change either dropdown to convert between any two of the 40+ supported volume units — metric, US customary, Imperial, and specialized measures.
- Watch for "which gallon": the U.S. fluid gallon, U.S. dry gallon, and Imperial gallon are three genuinely different sizes — always confirm which one your source is using before comparing figures.
How many gallons are in a liter?
1 liter equals approximately 0.2642 U.S. fluid gallons. To convert liters to gallons, multiply the liter value by 0.264172, or divide by 3.785411784.
Is a U.S. gallon the same as a UK (Imperial) gallon?
No — the Imperial gallon (4.54609 L) is about 20% larger than the U.S. gallon (3.785411784 L). Select "Gallon (Imperial)" specifically if you need the UK size rather than the US one.
