Litre vs Imperial Pint: which is bigger?
A litre is the larger unit: one litre equals 1.759754 imperial pints. Put another way, you need 1.759754 imperial pints to make a single litre.
What is a Litre? History, origin and usage
The litre was introduced in France in 1795 as a republican measure equal to one cubic decimetre, its name derived from the older French litron, in turn from Byzantine Greek (where it had been a unit of weight) via Late Medieval Latin. In 1901 the litre was redefined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at maximum density, making it very slightly larger than a cubic decimetre. In 1964 that awkward definition was abandoned and the litre returned to being exactly one cubic decimetre.
The litre is the everyday metric unit of volume across most of the world: fuel sold at the pump, bottled water and soft drinks, milk, engine and cooking oil, and car engine capacity. It is the unit people reach for whenever a volume is larger than a kitchen spoonful but smaller than a tankful.
The litre is not an official SI unit but is accepted for use alongside it. Its symbol may be written as a capital L precisely because a lowercase l is easily mistaken for the digit 1 in many fonts.
What is a Imperial Pint? History, origin and usage
An imperial (UK) pint is 20 imperial fluid ounces — 568.26125 mL, about 20% larger than the US pint. This is the pint served in UK pubs.

Tips for converting Litre to Imperial Pint
- To go from litre to imperial pint, multiply by 1.759754; to go back, divide by 1.759754 (or multiply by 0.5682613).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 litre ≈ 1.759754 imperial pint, so 10 litre ≈ 17.59754 imperial pint.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Litre to Imperial Pint converter
Type a number into the Litre field and the equivalent in Imperial Pint appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Imperial Pint field to convert the other way (imperial pint to litre). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 L = 1.759754 imp pt), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for litre-to-imperial pint conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Sources
- BIPM — The International System of Units (SI Brochure) — the defining document for the SI, published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It fixes the base unit that this conversion resolves to, which is why the factor here can be exact rather than approximate.
- NIST — Definitions of the SI base units — the US National Institute of Standards and Technology reference for the SI base units, used here as an independent cross-check on the base-unit definition.
Watch the system: a <strong>US</strong> gallon, quart, pint and fluid ounce are <strong>not</strong> the same size as the <strong>imperial (UK)</strong> ones — a US gallon is 3.785 L while an imperial gallon is 4.546 L, and a US fluid ounce (29.57 mL) is slightly larger than an imperial fluid ounce (28.41 mL). The units on this page are labelled US or Imperial so the result is unambiguous.
