Convert all-purpose flour from cups into grams with rounded kitchen-friendly values and a quick reference table.

Quick Answer

1 US cup of all-purpose flour is about 125 grams.

That means 1/2 cup is about 63 grams, 1/4 cup is about 31 grams, and 2 cups is about 251 grams.

Flour compacts easily, so spooning and leveling is more consistent than scooping straight from the bag.
