Frequently Asked Questions
What is the largest Roman numeral?
Standard notation covers 1–3,999. Larger numbers use vinculum (overline) notation not supported here.

Yes. 2024 = MMXXIV — common for copyright dates and movie credits.
What about lowercase roman numerals?
Enter uppercase (MMXXIV) or lowercase (mmxxiv) — both decode correctly.
Is this Roman numeral converter free?
Yes. Unlimited conversions with no signup.
