About this tool

Common questions
Why does the result look like English letters?
That's how Kruti Dev text is stored. Paste it into Word or your typing software and choose the Kruti Dev 010 font, and the letters turn into Hindi.
What can't be converted?
English letters and a few symbols such as + have no place in Kruti Dev, because the font uses those keys for Hindi. They're left as they are and listed below the result, so you can set them in an English font.
Is it the same as Mangal to Kruti Dev?
Yes. Mangal is a Unicode font, so text typed in Mangal is Unicode, and this converts it.
Will it match what a typist would type?
It uses the usual Kruti Dev 010 keys and joined glyphs, so the text looks the same in the font. A typist may use another key for the same shape, such as ç for प्र, and Kruti Dev to Unicode reads both.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up, and you can use it as often as you like.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs inside your browser, so what you enter stays on your device.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone.
