Workflow & Usage
- Enter numbers or Roman numerals in the left textarea.
- Use the Number / Roman toggle inside the input area to switch direction.
- Optional controls:
- Batch by newline — convert one value per line
- Trim lines — ignore extra whitespace in batch mode
- View results instantly on the right and copy with one click.
Invalid or non-canonical inputs are reported per line so the rest of the batch continues.
Conversion Rules
Number
- Valid range: 1–3999
- Output uses canonical Roman notation
Example:
2025 → MMXXV
Roman
- Accepts uppercase or lowercase input
- Validates canonical structure
- Rejects invalid sequences
Example:
MMXXV → 2025
Common Use Cases
- Learning Roman numerals
- Education and homework
- Historical references
- Game mechanics and puzzles
- Chapter or section numbering
- UI labels and outlines
Tips & Best Practices
- Roman numerals are case-insensitive.
- Avoid non-standard forms like
IIIIorIC. - Use batch mode for lists of years or identifiers.
- Values outside the supported range will return an error.
How It Works
- Numbers are converted using a descending Roman value table
- Roman numerals are parsed left-to-right
- Subtractive pairs (IV, IX, XL, etc.) are handled correctly
- Decoded values are validated via round-trip conversion
- Each line is processed independently
