Why Do You Need a Kruti Dev to Mangal Converter?
Before Unicode became the standard, most Hindi typing in India was done in legacy fonts like Kruti Dev and DevLys using the Remington keyboard layout. Millions of official documents, court orders, and books were typed this way. The problem: Kruti Dev text is actually stored as English characters that only look like Hindi when the font is installed. Paste that text into WhatsApp, a website, or an email and it turns into unreadable characters like d`fr nso.
Unicode solves this permanently. Every Devanagari letter has a universal code, so Unicode Hindi text displays correctly on every device, every website, and every app — no font installation needed. Converting your Krutidev files to Unicode makes them searchable, shareable, and future-proof. And when a government office or typing exam specifically demands Kruti Dev, the reverse conversion gets you back in one click.
How to Use This Font Converter
- Choose the direction: Krutidev → Unicode or Unicode → Krutidev (or press Swap).
- Paste your text into the left box — the converted text appears on the right instantly.
- Click Copy Result and paste it into MS Word, WhatsApp, or any application, or save it with Download .txt.
Tip for MS Word users: after converting Krutidev to Unicode, select the pasted text and set the font to Mangal, Nirmala UI, or any Unicode Hindi font. Going the other way, set the font to Kruti Dev 010 to see the Hindi correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Krutidev and Unicode?
Kruti Dev is a legacy font where Hindi letter shapes sit on English character codes; the text is only readable with the font installed. Unicode assigns every Hindi character its own universal code point, so the text works everywhere. Mangal is simply a popular Unicode Hindi font that ships with Windows.
2. Is Mangal font the same as Unicode?
Mangal is a font; Unicode is the encoding. Any text this tool produces in the Krutidev → Unicode direction can be displayed in Mangal, Nirmala UI, Noto Sans Devanagari, or any other Unicode Hindi font.
3. Does the converter handle half letters and matras?
Yes. The engine handles conjuncts (half letters), all matras, reph (र्क), rakar (क्र), anusvar, chandrabindu, nukta letters, and Hindi digits in both directions.
4. Is my text safe?
Completely. The conversion runs 100% in your browser with JavaScript — nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged. See our privacy policy.
