Tools / Roman numeral converter

Roman numeral converter

Turn a number into Roman numerals or read one back, anywhere from 1 to 3999. The numeral box only accepts the standard form: IIII and IC are reported as errors rather than quietly read as 4 and 99, because if you typed one by accident you want to be told.

About this tool

Convert numbers to Roman numerals and back, for anything from 1 to 3999 (the range the standard numerals cover without special notation). Type a number to see its numeral form, or type a numeral to read its value — useful for dates, clock faces, book chapters, film credits and the perennial “what year is this tattoo?”.

What sets it apart is that it validates the numeral form strictly. Non-standard writings like IIII (instead of IV) or IC (instead of XCIX) are reported as errors rather than quietly interpreted, because if you typed one by mistake you want to know. Reading them silently would hide a typo behind a plausible-looking answer.

It runs in your browser, so conversions are instant and private. Use it to write a date in numerals correctly, to decode one you have found, or to check that a numeral you wrote is actually valid.

Frequently asked questions

What range of numbers can it convert?
From 1 to 3999, which is the range standard Roman numerals represent without special overline notation for larger values.
Why does it reject numerals like IIII or IC?
Because those are not the standard form (IV and XCIX are). It flags them as errors rather than silently reading them, so an accidental mistake is caught instead of hidden.
Can it convert in both directions?
Yes. You can enter a number to get numerals, or enter numerals to get the number.
How do I write a year like 1990 in Roman numerals?
Enter the number and the tool produces the correct numeral (1990 is MCMXC). It also verifies numerals you type, so you can check a date you already have.
Is the conversion private?
Yes. It runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
