cc to mL Converter
Use our cc to mL converter to convert cubic centimeters (cc or cm³) to milliliters (mL) and liters (L). Includes the cc to mL formula, why cc and mL are the same, and a quick cc to mL conversion table.
Why Are cc and mL the Same?
A cubic centimeter (cm³), often written as cc, is a unit of volume in the metric system. A milliliter (mL) is also a metric unit of volume.
They are equivalent by definition: 1 cubic centimeter equals 1 milliliter. That’s why converting cc to mL is a 1-to-1 conversion.
You will often see cc used in medicine, engines, and syringes, while mL is common in cooking, chemistry, and nutrition labels. The quantity is the same — only the unit label changes.
cc to mL Formula
Because 1 cc equals 1 mL, the conversion is direct. You can also convert cc to liters by dividing by 1000.
1 cc = 1 mL.
1000 mL = 1 L, and 1 mL = 1 cc.

How to Convert cc to mL
- 1
Enter the volume in cubic centimeters (cc or cm³).
- 2
The converter returns the same number in milliliters (mL).
- 3
To get liters (L), the converter divides cc by 1000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Exactly 1 cc equals 1 mL.
Cubic centimeters (cm³) are the same as cc. Convert by copying the number: 30 cm³ = 30 cc = 30 mL.
Because 1 milliliter is defined as the volume of a cube that is 1 cm on each side, which is 1 cm³.
Different fields prefer different labels. Medicine and engines often use cc, while cooking and lab work often use mL, but the volumes are identical.
