How it works
Liter = US pint × 0.4731765. Every value is converted through a single liter base unit using internationally defined conversion factors, so any from/to pair stays consistent.
Good to know
Converting US pints to liters comes up constantly when an American recipe, a craft-beer batch, or a US lab protocol has to fit into a metric world. A pint of milk in a cookbook, a pint glass at a brewpub, or a pint of blood in a medical note all need to become liters before they make sense on a metric measuring jug or a European spec sheet.
The pint is an old English unit that the United States kept after independence, while the liter is the metric system's everyday volume unit, defined as exactly one cubic decimeter. Because the two systems were never reconciled, a US liquid pint lands at 0.4731765 L — noticeably smaller than the UK imperial pint, which is about 0.5683 L, so always check which pint you actually have.
The handy rule of thumb: a US pint is just under half a liter. Halve your pint count and you are within about 5% of the answer, which is close enough for cooking. For two pints, think "roughly a liter" (it is actually 0.946 L), and for the exact figure multiply by 0.4731765.
- Mixing up the US pint (16 fl oz) with the imperial pint (20 fl oz) is the single most common error and throws results off by about 20%.

No. A US liquid pint is 0.4731765 L, while a UK (imperial) pint is about 0.568261 L. The imperial pint is roughly 20% larger, so a recipe or pub measure from Britain holds more than its American namesake.

Not exactly, though it is close. A US pint is 473.2 mL (0.4731765 L), so 500 mL is about 1.06 US pints, while a UK imperial pint is 568.3 mL, making 500 mL about 0.88 UK pints. Recipes and drink sizes often treat 500 mL as a 'metric pint' for convenience, but it does not match either official definition.
