Metric–Imperial Recipe Converter

Convert between cups, tablespoons, milliliters, liters, ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms — pick your units and go either direction.

How this works

This tool performs straightforward unit conversion within a measurement family — volume-to-volume (cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces, milliliters, liters) or weight-to-weight (ounces, pounds, grams, kilograms) — using standard US customary-to-metric conversion factors.

Source: Conversion factors follow standard US customary and metric definitions (1 US cup = 236.588 mL; 1 lb = 453.592 g).

Frequently asked questions

Can this calculator convert cups of flour to grams?

Not directly — cups are a volume measure and grams are weight, so converting between them needs to know the ingredient's density. Use the Cups to Grams Converter for that; use this tool for volume-to-volume or weight-to-weight conversions.

Is a US cup the same as a UK or Australian cup?

No. A US cup is about 236.6 mL, while an Australian/UK metric cup is 250 mL — a meaningful difference in baking. This calculator uses the US customary cup, standard in most American recipes.

What's the difference between a US and UK pint?

A US pint (473 mL, used here) is smaller than an imperial (UK) pint, which is about 568 mL. Always check which one a recipe means if it's from outside the US.
