Use 32 for US liquid or 40 for Imperial
Divide US fluid ounces by 32 to get US liquid quarts. Divide Imperial fluid ounces by 40 to get Imperial quarts. The selector keeps each fluid ounce paired with its own quart system; changing it reinterprets every line rather than silently mixing US and Imperial units.
Paste recipe lines and keep exact fractions
Enter one amount per line, such as 12 fl oz broth, 1/2 quart milk, or 1½ qt stock. Written units override the default direction, so a single list can contain both directions. Each result keeps its ingredient, exact fraction, decimal, and selected system.
Why this page rejects oz and dry qt
A fluid ounce measures volume; an ounce without fl commonly means weight. A US dry quart is also a volume, but there is no matching “dry fluid ounce” system that uses 32 or 40. Ingredient weight can only become volume when density and packing are known, so this page asks for fl oz and refuses ambiguous weight or dry-unit text.
Frequently asked questions
Does 32 ounces equal 1 quart?
Yes, 32 US fluid ounces equal exactly 1 US liquid quart. Weight ounces do not use this conversion.
Does 16 fluid ounces equal 1 quart?
Sixteen US fluid ounces equal 1/2 US liquid quart. In the Imperial system, 16 Imperial fluid ounces equal 2/5 Imperial quart.
Why does an Imperial quart have 40 fluid ounces?
The Imperial system defines 20 Imperial fluid ounces per pint and 2 pints per quart, so one Imperial quart contains 40 Imperial fluid ounces. Keep Imperial fluid ounces paired with Imperial quarts.
Can I convert dry ounces to dry quarts?
Not with a fixed ounces-to-quarts ratio. A US dry quart is a volume, but a food ounce normally measures weight. Converting ingredient weight to volume requires that ingredient's density and packing method, so this tool rejects weight oz and dry qt input.
Can I paste recipe lines and fractions?
Yes. Paste up to 20 lines beginning with a decimal, simple fraction, mixed number, or Unicode fraction. Write fl oz, fluid ounces, qt, or quarts to override the selected direction; ingredient labels stay attached.
