SponsoredThis converter turns cubic feet into liters (ft3 to liters). Enter a value and the result updates as you type. The section "How Many Liters in a Cubic Foot" below gives the factor and where it comes from.
Refrigerator and freezer capacity in the US is listed in cubic feet, while the same appliance sold elsewhere, and most backpacks, car trunks and microwaves, are rated in liters. One multiplication puts the two on the same scale, whether the label says liters or litres.
The result is rounded to 4 decimal places, but the factor behind it never is, so long chains of conversions stay accurate. Type a whole number or a decimal; the conversion table below lists common values.
How Many Liters in a Cubic Foot
A cubic foot is exactly 28.316846592 liters.

For a quick estimate, about 28.3 liters per cubic foot is close enough for anything but science.

Why do some converters show 28.31681991 liters?
That figure has a typing error in its last digits. The exact value, from the 0.3048 meter foot, is 28.316846592 liters, and the difference shows up from the fifth decimal place.
What happens if I enter a negative number?
The result shows a dash. A volume is an amount of space, so it is never below zero; a minus sign in front of a value is usually a typing slip.
