Liters to Cc Converter (L to cm³)

How to convert liters to cubic centimeters

Formulacm³ = L × 1,000

Multiply the value in liters by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).

A liter is larger than a cubic centimeter: one liter contains 1,000 cubic centimeters.

About the units

Liter (L)

Exactly one cubic decimetre (1,000 cm³). Drinks, fuel and engine displacement are measured in litres in most of the world. One liter equals 0.001 cubic meters (m³).

Cubic centimeter (cm³)

Identical to a millilitre; used for engine displacement and syringes. One cubic centimeter equals 0.000001 cubic meters (m³).

Frequently asked questions

How many cubic centimeters are in one liter?

There are 1,000 cubic centimeters in one liter, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert liters to cubic centimeters?

Multiply the number of liters by 1,000. For example, 10 L × 1,000 = 10,000 cm³.

How many liters are in one cubic centimeter?

One cubic centimeter equals 0.001 liters. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.

What is 10 liters in cubic centimeters?

10 L = 10,000 cm³.

Is this L to cm³ converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
