Gallons to Liters Online

Updated 2026-10-24

Convert US gallons to liters online for free. Enter a volume in gallons and SnapTools shows the exact value in liters instantly, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

The gallon is a US-specific everyday unit (fuel tanks, milk jugs, paint cans) while nearly everywhere else measures volume in liters. This converter handles the exact US-gallon figure (not the larger UK gallon) so a tank capacity, a recipe, or a fuel-economy number converts correctly. For the full family of volume units (milliliters, cups, pints, the UK gallon), use the Volume Converter.

// how to use

  1. 1 Type or paste a volume in US gallons into the input.
  2. 2 SnapTools converts it to liters as you type.
  3. 3 Copy the result, or use the slider for a quick scrub across common tank/container sizes.

// faq

Why is the US gallon exactly 3.785411784 liters, of all numbers?
The figure comes from an old English measure, the 231-cubic-inch wine gallon that England legally standardized in 1707, under Queen Anne. England abandoned that measure in 1826 in favor of the larger imperial gallon, but the newly independent United States kept using it, and it remains the legal basis for the US gallon today.
Is this the US gallon or the UK (imperial) gallon?
The US gallon, the one used for fuel, groceries, and recipes in the US. The full Volume Converter also offers the UK gallon (Gallon UK), which is about 20% larger.
What's the exact conversion factor?
1 US gallon is exactly 3.785411784 liters. This tool uses the exact figure throughout.
Why would I need this for fuel economy?
US fuel economy is measured in miles per gallon; most of the world uses liters per 100 km. Converting the gallon figure is the first step in comparing the two.
What about converting liters back to gallons?
Use Liters to Gallons, or the full Volume Converter for milliliters, cups, pints, and more.
