Centiliters to Milliliters Converter

Q: How many ml are in a centiliter?

Exactly 10 ml . The centilitre is one-hundredth of a litre, and a litre is 1,000 ml, so 1,000 ÷ 100 = 10 ml — an exact conversion, no rounding.

Q: How do I convert cl to ml?

Multiply by 10: ml = cl × 10 . So 25 cl is 250 ml, 33 cl (a standard drinks can) is 330 ml, and 75 cl is 750 ml. Type any figure above.

Q: How many ml is 50 cl?

500 ml — exactly half a litre. A 50 cl bottle and a 500 ml bottle hold the same amount; only the unit on the label differs.

Q: How do I convert ml back to cl?

Divide by 10: cl = ml ÷ 10 . So 250 ml is 25 cl and 1,000 ml is 100 cl. Switch the direction above to do it.

How the cl to ml conversion works

The conversion is exact: millilitres = centilitres × 10. The SI prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, so a centilitre is one-hundredth of a litre — and since a litre is 1,000 ml, one centilitre is exactly 10 ml. Going the other way, centilitres = millilitres ÷ 10.

Worked example: a European recipe calling for 25 cl of cream needs 25 × 10 = 250 ml. And a 75 cl bottle of wine is 75 × 10 = 750 ml — the standard wine-bottle size.

Handy benchmarks: 1 cl = 10 ml, 5 cl = 50 ml, 10 cl = 100 ml, 25 cl = 250 ml, 50 cl = 500 ml and 100 cl = 1 litre. For the next metric step up, see our deciliters to ml converter, and for US cups see centiliters to cups.
