How to Convert Cubic Feet to Liters

To convert a measurement in cubic feet to a measurement in liters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 28.316847 liters/cubic foot.

Since one cubic foot is equal to 28.316847 liters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

liters = cubic feet × 28.316847

The volume in liters is equal to the volume in cubic feet multiplied by 28.316847.

For example, here's how to convert 5 cubic feet to liters using the formula above.

liters = (5 ft³ × 28.316847) = 141.584233 L

What Is a Cubic Foot?

The cubic foot is a unit of volume that is equal to the space consumed by a cube having sides one foot on each edge.

The cubic foot is a US customary and imperial unit of volume. A cubic foot is sometimes also referred to as a cubic ft. Cubic feet can be abbreviated as ft³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu foot, cu ft, or CF. For example, 1 cubic foot can be written as 1 ft³, 1 cu foot, 1 cu ft, or 1 CF.

You can calculate volume using a cubic footage calculator if you have the dimensions of a space or object.
