How it works

Three steps, no setup

1

Type a number or numeral

The tool detects which direction you are converting automatically.

2

See the converted value

Standard subtractive notation (like IV for 4) is applied correctly.

3

Check for invalid input

Malformed numerals are flagged instead of silently guessed.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest number supported?
Standard Roman numeral notation is typically supported up to 3999, since there is no standard single-character symbol for values at or above 4000.
Why is IIII sometimes seen on clocks instead of IV?
That is a stylistic convention used on some clock faces, not the arithmetic standard — this tool follows standard subtractive notation.
