Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter
Convert Hindi Kruti Dev (and DevLys) font to Unicode (Mangal) and back, free in your browser. Paste Kruti Dev text to get proper Unicode Hindi (Devanagari).
How to convert Kruti Dev to Unicode (Mangal)
Paste your Kruti Dev text and the converter turns it into Unicode Hindi — the same Devanagari used by the Mangal font and every modern app. Kruti Dev 010 (and the identical DevLys 010) is an ASCII font behind most Hindi typing tests and old DTP work, so its text breaks when shared without the font. Converting to Unicode makes it portable everywhere, and the tool converts Unicode back to Kruti Dev too.
Accurate Hindi conjuncts and matras
A good Kruti Dev converter has to get the tricky bits right: the reph (र्), the position of the ि matra, the nukta, and stacked conjuncts like क्ष, ज्ञ and द्व. Ours rebuilds these correctly, so words such as राष्ट्रीय, क्षत्रिय and विद्यार्थी convert cleanly rather than coming out jumbled — which matters for official documents, exams and publishing.
Free and runs in your browser
There's no sign-up, no upload and no limit — the conversion happens entirely on your device in real time. Paste a word or an entire file and copy the Unicode result straight into Word, Google Docs, a website or an email. It's the fastest way to bring legacy Kruti Dev / DevLys Hindi into the Unicode world (and back when a printer needs the old font).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Kruti Dev to Unicode?
Paste your Kruti Dev text and the Unicode Hindi (the same script as the Mangal font) appears instantly. Copy it into Word, Google Docs, a website or email — it will display correctly without the Kruti Dev font installed.
Is Kruti Dev the same as Mangal or Unicode?
No. Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy ASCII font (used in Hindi typing tests and old DTP), while Mangal is a Unicode font. This tool converts the legacy Kruti Dev encoding into real Unicode Devanagari, which any Unicode font — including Mangal — can display.
Does it work for DevLys too?
Yes. DevLys 010 uses the same encoding as Kruti Dev 010, so selecting Kruti Dev converts DevLys text correctly as well, in both directions.
Can it convert Unicode Hindi back to Kruti Dev?
Yes. Choose the Unicode → Kruti Dev direction to produce Kruti Dev font code you can paste back into Word or a DTP layout.
Is it accurate for conjuncts like क्ष and ज्ञ?
Yes. It handles the reph (र्), the ि matra position, the nukta and stacked conjuncts, so words such as राष्ट्रीय, क्षत्रिय and विद्यार्थी convert cleanly.
Is it free and private?
Yes — free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored.
