Why people switch to this converter
Gets the hard words right
Reph (र्), छोटी इ before joined letters, क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र, nukta letters and चंद्रबिंदु are handled by rules, not guesswork. We test 200 difficult words on every release.
Repairs typing slips, and shows them
Old files are full of small typing mistakes: घ typed for द्य, a stray छोटी इ, a doubled matra. When the meant word is clear, it is repaired and listed for you to check. Anything doubtful is marked, not guessed.
Finds the font for you
Kruti Dev, DevLys, Chanakya, Walkman-Chanakya or Shree-Lipi: paste the text and the old font is worked out. Useful for the jumbled letters you get when copying Hindi out of a PDF.
Both directions, one box
Old font to Unicode, or Unicode back to Kruti Dev for old systems and printers. Press the arrow to turn it around.
Nothing is uploaded
The conversion happens inside this page. You can check: load the page, switch off your internet, and it keeps working.
Free, no sign-up, no limit
Paste as much as you like, as often as you like. The paid part is the Office add-in, for whole files.
The numbers behind it
These are our own measurements, not a guarantee. Kruti Dev uses one key for both “:” and “ः”, so a colon can come out as a visarga; check those by eye.
Convert the whole file, not just the text
Pasting works for a paragraph. For a 40-page Word file or a 5,000-row Excel sheet, pasting loses bold, tables, cell formatting and formulas. The Hindi Converter add-in sits inside Word, Excel and PowerPoint and converts the file in place.
Formatting stays
Only the Hindi changes. English words, bold, colours, tables and formulas are left alone.
Scan, Preview, Undo
See what will change before anything changes, and take it back with one click.
Free for 7 days
No sign-in and no card to try it. After that, pay once for 1, 6 or 12 months. No auto-debit.
Questions
Is this KrutiDev to Unicode converter really free?
Yes. The converter on this page is free with no sign-up and no limit on how much you convert. The paid product is the add-in for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, which converts whole files in place.
Which fonts can it convert?
Kruti Dev and DevLys (010 and the other numbers that share the same keyboard layout) are fully supported, in both directions. Chanakya, Walkman-Chanakya 905 and Shree-Lipi (0702 / 0708 layout) to Unicode are in beta: these fonts exist in several versions, so check the result.
Does my text get uploaded?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to our server or anyone else’s. You can load the page, disconnect from the internet and keep converting.
I copied Hindi from a PDF and got English letters and symbols. Can this fix it?
Usually, yes. That jumble is old-font text that lost its font. Paste it here with “auto-detect” selected and the converter works out which font it was.
Why are some words highlighted in the result?
Those are words that look wrong after conversion, for example a matra with no letter to sit on. It nearly always means a typing mistake in the original text. Check just those words.
How do I convert a whole Word or Excel file without losing formatting?
Use the Hindi Converter add-in inside Word, Excel or PowerPoint. It changes the text where it sits, so bold, tables, cell formatting and formulas stay. It has a free 7-day trial that needs no sign-in.
How do I convert Unicode (Mangal) back to Kruti Dev?
Press the round arrow button between the two boxes, or open the Unicode to KrutiDev page. Paste the result into Word and set the font to Kruti Dev 010.
