Find out how many pints are in a liter. Convert liters to pints instantly, see a chart from 0.25 to 100 liters, get the exact formula and copy the result. — On the scale, 1 liter lines up with 2.113 pints; read any other amount straight across.

Multiply the liters by 2.113 for US pints. A liter (litre) is a little more than two US pints, since two of them only reach 946.4 ml.

Half a liter comes to 1.057 pt, three liters to 6.34 pt, and five liters to 10.57 pt. Round down when you count full glasses: three liters fill six US pints, with a little left over. The pints to liters converter runs the math in reverse.

Before you start, check which pint the question is about. One British pint equals 1.201 pt in US measure, and that changes every answer on this page.

US vs UK pints

The imperial pint holds 568.3 ml, so a liter fills only 1.76 of them. In US pints the same liter comes to more than two.

In Great Britain the pint is still the legal measure for draught beer and cider and for milk in returnable containers; other goods must be sold in metric units (GOV.UK). So a pint in a British pub is the imperial one, while a carton on the shelf shows liters or milliliters first.

How many pints are in a bottle or keg?

Metric containers turn into US and imperial pints like this:

A 2 L bottle of milk or soda: 4.227 pt, or 3.52 imp pt.
A 5 L mini keg: 10.57 pt, or 8.799 imp pt.
A 20 L keg: 42.27 pt, or 35.2 imp pt.

Foam and the last drops left in a keg mean real pours come out lower. Treat these counts as the most you can serve.

Liters and pints: questions

Is a liter more than a pint?

Yes, for both kinds of pint. A liter holds just over two US pints and 1.76 imperial pints, so even the larger British pint is well short of a liter.

Is half a liter a pint?

Close, but it depends on the country. Half a liter, 500 ml, is a bit more than a US pint of 473.2 ml and a bit less than a British pint of 568.3 ml. A half-liter glass would overflow a US pint and fall short of a UK one.

How many pints are in 4 liters?

Four liters make 8.454 pt, slightly more than one US gallon of eight pints. Measured in imperial pints, the same four liters come to 7.039. A 4 L jug of water therefore fills eight US pint measures with some left over.

How many pints is 750 ml?

750 ml is 1.585 US pints or 1.32 imperial pints. In other words, a bottle that size holds a little over one and a half US pints. Poured into British pint glasses, it fills one and part of a second.
