Why use this converter

Made for Kruti Dev 010

It knows the letters, the joined letters, the vowel sign ि that is typed before its letter and the र् that is typed after it, so the words come out in the right order.

It was tested on a long list of Hindi words and on real paragraphs typed in Kruti Dev.

Digits and colons your way

Write 0-9 as ०-९ if you like, and choose whether a word such as विषय ends with a colon or with a visarga.

Works on a phone

Big boxes and buttons. Paste, tap Copy, done.

From a text file

Open a Kruti Dev .txt file (ANSI or UTF-8) and save the Unicode Hindi as a .txt file.

Private and free

Everything is converted in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no sign-up or watermark.

Tips for converting Kruti Dev text

Convert real text, not a picture or a scanned page. A scan has no text to copy.
Copy the text from where the font is Kruti Dev, such as Word or Notepad. Text copied from a PDF can come out with letters in a different order, so look at a few lines.
Other old fonts, such as Chanakya, Shusha, DevLys and Walkman Chanakya, use different keys. This converter is for Kruti Dev 010 only.
English words typed in the same text, and signs typed in an English font (such as the straight quote ' or "), turn into Hindi letters that make no sense. Convert the Hindi part and keep those as they were.
Read the result once before you send it. Names and rare joined letters are worth a look.

Questions

What is Kruti Dev?

Kruti Dev is an old Hindi font from before Unicode. Every key of an English keyboard draws a Hindi letter in it (d is क, [k is ख), so the text is kept as English letters. Unicode Hindi is real Hindi text that every phone, website and app can show, search and sort. This tool turns one into the other.

Is this Kruti Dev to Unicode converter free?

Yes. It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how often you use it.

How do I convert Kruti Dev to Unicode?

Paste the Kruti Dev text in the first box. The Unicode Hindi appears in the second box. Tap Copy.

Which Kruti Dev font does it convert?

Kruti Dev 010, the one that is used most. Other old fonts such as Chanakya, DevLys or Shusha have different keys and are not converted.

Why does my text look like English letters?

That is how Kruti Dev text is kept. The font draws Hindi over those letters. Without the font (on a phone, in an email, on a website) you see the letters themselves, which is why the text has to be converted.

The result has wrong letters. What do I do?

Check that the text is Kruti Dev 010 and that you copied it from the document, not from a picture. Text taken from a PDF can come out in a different order or with letters missing. If a word is still wrong, write to us from the Contact page and send the Kruti Dev word.

Why do I see ः instead of : (or the other way round)?

In Kruti Dev the visarga (ः) and the colon (:) are written with the same key, because they look alike. This tool writes ः first. If your text has words such as विषय: or नाम:, tick "Colon at the end of a word". Then the sign at the end of a word is written as :.

Are the digits changed?

Not by default. Kruti Dev writes 0-9 as ordinary digits, and they stay. Tick "Hindi digits" to get ०-९.

Can I convert a Word file?

Not directly. Open the Word file, select all (Ctrl + A), copy, and paste here. You can also save the file as plain text (.txt) and open that file here.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion happens in your browser, on your own device. The site only counts how many times a result was copied or saved, without any of the text.

Can I turn Unicode Hindi back into Kruti Dev?

Yes, with the Unicode to Kruti Dev converter.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The big boxes and buttons are made for a phone. If the Paste button does not work on your phone, press and hold in the first box and choose Paste.
