Tips for converting Unicode to Kruti Dev

You need the font. The result looks right only where the Kruti Dev 010 font is installed (most printing and office computers have it). Without it you see English letters.
Put the font on the pasted Hindi only. If the same text has English words, select them and choose Arial or Times New Roman, otherwise they turn into Hindi letters.
Do not fix Kruti Dev letters by hand. Change the Hindi in the first box and convert again.
If the text is for a printer, ask whether they want Kruti Dev or Unicode. Most programs today take Unicode directly.
Look at the result in the font once, especially names and joined letters.

Questions

What does this converter do?

It turns Unicode Hindi (the Hindi of phones and websites) into text for the Kruti Dev 010 font. Every Hindi letter becomes the key that draws it in that font.

Is it free?

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

Why does the result look like English letters?

It should. Kruti Dev keeps Hindi as English letters and the font draws the Hindi over them. Paste the result into a program and choose the font Kruti Dev 010, and the Hindi appears.

Where can I use the result?

In any program where you can choose a font and Kruti Dev 010 is installed: Word, Excel, Photoshop, CorelDRAW, PageMaker, InDesign and others. On a website or in a phone app that has no such font you will see English letters.

I do not have the Kruti Dev font. What do I do?

The font has to be on the computer where you open the text. We do not provide the font. Printing and office computers often have it already.

Can I see the result in Kruti Dev on my phone?

Only in an app that has the Kruti Dev 010 font. Phones usually do not have it, so the text looks like English letters. The result is meant for a computer that has the font.

What about English words and numbers in my text?

Digits and English letters are copied as they are. In Kruti Dev, English letters draw Hindi letters, so after you paste, choose an English font for the English words.

Are digits, quotes and dashes changed too?

Yes, to the keys that Kruti Dev uses. Hindi digits (०-९) become the digit keys of the font. Ordinary digits 0-9 stay. Straight quotes become curved quotes.

Why is there no difference between the colon and the visarga?

Kruti Dev has one key for both, so the result is the same.

What does the check under the result mean?

After converting, the tool turns each Hindi word back into Unicode and compares it with your word. "Every Hindi word converts back to the same word" means that the conversion and its reverse agree. It does not show how the text will look in the font. If a word is listed, look at it in the font.

What is the .txt file I can download?

The Kruti Dev text is saved in a Windows ANSI (Windows-1252) .txt file. Open it in Word, select all and choose the font Kruti Dev 010. In Notepad it looks like strange letters.

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 Kruti Dev back into Unicode?

Yes, with the Kruti Dev to Unicode converter.
