About Quarts and Liters
Quarts (qt): Two pints, or one quarter of a gallon (the name comes from this — 'quart' from 'quarter'); the US quart is 946 mL, UK imperial quart 1,136 mL. Common uses: Milk and juice container sizes in the US, motor oil, and large cooking measurements (stocks, broths).
Liters (L): One cubic decimeter, or 1,000 cubic centimeters; one liter of water at standard conditions weighs almost exactly one kilogram, a coincidence that made the unit popular for everyday volume measurement. Common uses: Beverage container sizes, fuel (especially outside the US, where fuel is sold by the liter), engine displacements, and large-volume cooking and chemistry.

When this conversion matters
Converting between quarts and liters comes up wherever volume measurements move between systems — from one country's conventions to another's, from a scientific reference to a practical specification, or from one industry's working unit to another's. The calculator and reference table above cover the everyday range; for unusual values you can type any number into either field.
