Divide pints by 2
Quarts = pints ÷ 2. One pint is 1/2 quart, 3 pints equals 1 1/2 quarts, and 8 pints equals 4 quarts. The 2-to-1 relationship is exact within US liquid measure.
Multiply quarts by 2
Pints = quarts × 2. One quart is 2 pints, and 1 1/2 quarts is 3 pints. A pasted unit overrides the selected direction, and Swap carries the unrounded result back into the input.
US liquid, US dry, and Imperial measures
The main converter uses US liquid pints and quarts. US dry measure and Imperial measure also have 2 pints per quart, but their pint capacities are different. The small comparison under the result shows the three two-pint capacities without mixing those systems into the converter.
Decimals and fractions
You can enter whole numbers, decimals, simple fractions such as 3/4, mixed numbers such as 1 1/2, or Unicode fractions such as 1½. Results show a decimal plus a fraction when a simple fraction represents the same value. A decimal displayed with ≈ is rounded to at most six places.
