Convert baking ingredients using an approximate grams-per-cup value for the ingredient you select.
Open grams converterA calmer way to measure
Kitchen conversions, made practical.
Turn ingredient weights and liquid volumes into useful cup measurements. Choose the ingredient or cup standard, enter a value, and use the result as a helpful starting point for your recipe.
Measurements are estimates. Ingredient packing and cup sizes can change the result.

Two everyday converters
Weight and volume are different kinds of measurements, so each tool uses the information that matters for that conversion.
Milliliters to cups
Convert liquid volume with a choice of US customary or 250 ml metric cups.
Open volume converterA useful distinction
Weight is not the same as volume
A cup of flour and a cup of sugar do not weigh the same amount. Flour can also settle or become packed, changing how much fits into a cup. For the most repeatable baking results, weighing ingredients on a kitchen scale is usually the better choice.
When a recipe gives only cups, an ingredient-specific calculator can help you estimate the equivalent weight. For more ingredient-specific reference points, visit the Grams2Cups conversion guide. If you are working with liquids, the milliliters-to-cups converter is another useful reference.
Make it work for your recipe
Three tips for better measurements
- Pick the right ingredient. Density differs between flour, sugar, oats, and other pantry staples.
- Check the cup standard. A US cup and a 250 ml metric cup are not identical.
- Use the method your recipe expects. Spoon flour gently into a cup and level it rather than compressing it unless the recipe says otherwise.
