What is Kruti Dev?

Kruti Dev (Kruti Dev 010) is an old Hindi font used in government offices, courts, print shops and typing centres. It does not use real Hindi letters - every Hindi letter is stored as an English keyboard character, so the same text looks like fgUnh in any normal font and like हिन्दी only when the Kruti Dev font is installed. Copy such text to WhatsApp, a website or a phone and it turns into gibberish. This tool changes it into proper Unicode Hindi that works everywhere - and back again, when an office form or printer still needs Kruti Dev.

Why does my Hindi text look like English letters?

The text was typed in an old font such as Kruti Dev. That font stores each Hindi letter as an ordinary English character, so without the font the text looks like "fgUnh". Convert it to Unicode with this tool and it becomes real Hindi (हिन्दी).

What is Unicode Hindi?

Unicode is the standard way to store Hindi letters. Unicode text shows correctly on every phone, computer and website, in any Hindi font such as Mangal or Noto Sans Devanagari, and can be searched and copied.

Can it convert Unicode Hindi back to Kruti Dev?

Yes - choose "Unicode to Kruti Dev". The result is Kruti Dev text; it only looks like Hindi when you paste it into a document that uses the Kruti Dev 010 font (for example Word with the font installed).

Why are some letters or words wrong?

Rare ligatures and special characters of the Kruti Dev font are not converted. Also, English words, numbers and links inside a Kruti Dev document are changed as well, because the tool cannot tell them from Kruti Dev characters - convert only the Hindi part, or fix those bits by hand afterwards.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion happens inside your browser and the text never leaves your device.
