About Shree-Lipi text
Shree-Lipi is a family of Devanagari fonts used widely in publishing and newspaper DTP. Like Kruti Dev, the file stores other characters and the font draws Hindi over them, so the text turns to symbols as soon as the font is missing.
Shree-Lipi comes in many numbered versions, and they don’t all use the same character map. This page converts the 0702 / 0708 layout. That is why it is marked beta: please read the result before you use it, and tell us if a letter comes out wrong every time.
Only this direction, for now
We convert Shree-Lipi to Unicode, not Unicode back to Shree-Lipi. We only offer a direction once we can test it word by word, the way we test Kruti Dev. If you need Unicode to Shree-Lipi, tell us which version you use.

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 Shree-Lipi fonts does this convert?
Text typed in the Shree-Lipi 0702 / 0708 layout. Other Shree-Lipi numbers map some characters differently and may come out partly wrong.
Why is it marked beta?
Shree-Lipi has several versions and we have tested fewer real documents in it than in Kruti Dev. The result is usually right, but read it before you use it.
Can I convert Unicode to Shree-Lipi?
Not yet. We only offer Shree-Lipi to Unicode. If you need the other direction, write to us with the font number you use.
The result is wrong. Is my text Shree-Lipi at all?
Paste it on the home page with auto-detect selected. It checks Kruti Dev, DevLys, Chanakya, Walkman-Chanakya and Shree-Lipi and picks the best fit.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
