Convert Kruti Dev to Unicode instead

How to get Kruti Dev text into Word

  1. Paste Unicode Hindi into the left box, or type it first in the Hindi typing editor.
  2. Press Copy under the right box. The result looks like English letters - that is expected.
  3. Paste it into Word, select it and choose Kruti Dev 010 from the font list.

The converter places the short i (ि) before its consonant and the reph (र्) after its syllable, the way Kruti Dev expects, and uses Kruti Dev's own shapes for conjuncts such as क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ and द्य.

Unicode to Kruti Dev: common questions

Why does the converted text look like English letters?

That is what Kruti Dev text is: English characters that the Kruti Dev font draws as Hindi letters. Paste the result into Word or another app and set the font to Kruti Dev 010, and it shows as Hindi.

When do I need Kruti Dev instead of Unicode?

Only when someone requires it: an office, printer, form or typing test that still works in Kruti Dev, or a document that is already in Kruti Dev. For everything else - WhatsApp, email, websites, Google Docs - keep Unicode, which works everywhere without a special font.

Do I need the Kruti Dev font installed?

Yes, on the computer where the text will be read or printed. Kruti Dev is usually already installed on office computers that use it. It is not offered on this site.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the text never leaves your device. It is free with no sign-up and no limit on length.

How do I type Hindi to convert?

Type it phonetically in our Hindi typing editor - "namaste" becomes नमस्ते - then copy it here. Or paste Unicode Hindi from anywhere, such as Google Docs or a website.
