SponsoredThis calculator converts a volume in pints to US cups using the exact ratio: multiply the pint value by 2. One US pint is defined as exactly one eighth of a gallon, and one cup as exactly one sixteenth of a gallon, so this conversion carries no rounding at all.
A pint container of cream, berries, or ice cream is a common grocery size, and converting it into cups makes it easy to follow a recipe written in cup measurements. Knowing the exact 2 cups per pint ratio avoids guessing when a recipe and a grocery container use different units.
For the reverse direction, converting cups back into pints, or converting a pint value into quarts or gallons instead, see the related converters below.

The Pints to Cups Formula
To convert pints to cups, multiply the pint value by 2. For example, 3 pints times 2 equals 6 cups.
To go the other way, use the Cups to Pints converter instead, which divides by 2 for you. For the larger gallon scale instead, see the Pints to Gallons converter below.
How Many Cups Are in a Pint, Exactly?
A US pint holds exactly 2 cups, a ratio fixed by the legal definitions of both units. This is specifically the US customary pint and cup, the units used on US grocery packaging and measuring cups.
A Note on the UK Pint
A UK imperial pint is a different, larger unit, about 20% bigger than a US pint, so a recipe or product label using a UK pint will not match this calculator's US-based 2 cups per pint ratio. This page covers the US customary pint only.
To find what a volume weighs, the Pints to Pounds Converter converts pints to pounds for water, milk, flour, sugar, honey, or butter. Baking recipes often give flour or sugar by weight, and the Cups to Grams Converter turns a cup measure into grams for common baking ingredients. To double a recipe or cut it down first, the Recipe Scaling Calculator adjusts any ingredient amount for a new number of servings.
