When this tool helps
Volume measures three-dimensional space. Multiplying length dimensions produces cubic units, so dimensions entered in centimetres give a result in cm³, not litres. Use the Unit converter separately when a supported unit conversion is needed.
Choose Box, Cylinder or Sphere. A box uses length, width and height; a cylinder uses radius and height; a sphere uses radius only. Fields for irrelevant dimensions are hidden in the native screen so you do not need to fill invented values.
What to enter
These are the candidate Android fields, not a form on this website. Editable fields in the app start empty; modes and units are selected separately.
- Shape and Length unit for all dimensions
- Select Box, Cylinder or Sphere and one common unit.
- Required dimensions
- Box: length, width and height. Cylinder: radius and height. Sphere: radius.

Checked example result60 cm³
A box measuring 5 cm × 3 cm × 4 cm encloses 60 cm³ in the ideal geometric model.
Formula and assumptions
Box: L × W × H. Cylinder: πr²h. Sphere: 4πr³ ÷ 3
- All dimensions must be positive and expressed in the selected common length unit.
- This is external geometric volume unless you deliberately enter internal dimensions. Wall thickness, fill level and usable capacity are not inferred.
A common mistake to avoid
A container’s outside dimensions do not automatically give its usable capacity. Measure the appropriate internal dimensions if that is the quantity you need.
Find this tool in the Android update
- When you have the redesigned Android update, open Tools and search for Volume, or find it under Everyday.
- Open the tool, choose the mode or units relevant to your task, then enter your own values.
- Review the result and explanation. Use Calculate & save only if you want the calculation kept in local History; Copy result does not send it to our server.
This guide is an educational preview of the update in testing, not an announcement that Google Play has approved or published it. Calculations are in the native app; no web calculator or download is offered on this page.
Questions about Volume
Does Sphere require height?
No. Only the radius is used for a sphere; the native form hides length, width and height for that shape.
Is a result in cm³ already litres?
No. The displayed unit is cubic centimetres when cm is selected. One litre equals 1,000 cm³, but this shape tool displays the geometric cubic unit.
