Convert text between Hindi typing formats and Unicode Devanagari with these free online tools.
Hindi text exists in two encodings. Unicode (Mangal, Noto Sans Devanagari, anything typed on a phone) stores real Hindi letters and works everywhere. Kruti Dev is a legacy font that stores English keyboard letters and only looks like Hindi when the Kruti Dev font is selected — copy it anywhere else and you see text like fgUnh.
| Your situation | Use |

| You need Kruti Dev text for a typing exam, DTP job or office template | Unicode to Kruti Dev |
| You want to type Hindi in English letters | Hindi Typing |
