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.

Questions
Which Chanakya fonts does this convert?
The common Chanakya layout and Walkman-Chanakya 905 (used in NCERT Hindi books). Chanakya exists in several versions that differ in a few joined letters, so this is marked beta: please check the result.
How accurate is the Chanakya conversion?
On our test words taken from printed pages it converts every one correctly (24 of 24 Chanakya, 90 of 90 Walkman-Chanakya). Real documents vary more than a test list, which is why it stays in beta.
The result is wrong. What can I try?
Change “From” to Walkman-Chanakya or back to Chanakya: the two look alike but use different keys. If it is still wrong, your file may use another Chanakya version; send us a sample from the support page.
Can it convert Unicode back to Chanakya?
Not yet. Unicode converts back to Kruti Dev only.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser.
