SponsoredThis calculator converts a volume in pints to US quarts using the exact ratio: divide the pint value by 2. One US pint is defined as exactly one eighth of a gallon, and one quart as exactly one quarter of a gallon, so this conversion carries no rounding at all.
Pint-sized containers of cream, berries, or other groceries are common, and converting a running pint total into quarts makes it easier to compare against a recipe or a larger container size. Knowing the exact 2 pints per quart ratio keeps that comparison precise.
For the reverse direction, converting quarts back into pints, or converting a pint value into cups instead, see the related converters below.

| 3 pt | 1.5 qt |
| 4 pt | 2 qt |

The Pints to Quarts Formula
To convert pints to quarts, divide the pint value by 2. For example, 6 pints divided by 2 equals 3 quarts.
To go the other way, use the Quarts to Pints converter instead, which multiplies by 2 for you. For a pint value that needs to become cups, see the Pints to Cups converter below.
Why a Quart Equals Exactly 2 Pints
A US pint is defined as exactly 1/8 of a gallon, and a quart as exactly 1/4 of a gallon, so a quart holds exactly 2 pints (1/4 divided by 1/8). This chain of exact definitions is why the ratio carries no rounding error.
A Quick Mental Check
Since a pint is also 2 cups, a quart's 2-pint composition is the same fact as a quart being 4 cups, just expressed at a different scale, both derived from the same underlying gallon definition.
To find what a volume weighs, the Pints to Pounds Converter converts pints to pounds for water, milk, flour, sugar, honey, or butter. The Quarts to Pounds Converter does the same starting from quarts. To double a recipe or cut it down first, the Recipe Scaling Calculator adjusts any ingredient amount for a new number of servings.
