Please review the output. Matra order and the common conjuncts (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र) are handled, but rare characters in very old documents may still differ. Nothing you type is uploaded. This page converts entirely inside your browser.

Converting a full document or spreadsheet? Upload the Word or Excel file, formatting stays.

Convert a document

Upload a Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .csv) or text (.txt) file typed in Arjun. Only the Arjun text is converted. Bold, colours, tables, numbers, formulas and the rest of the formatting stay exactly as they are.

Your file never leaves your computer.

How to use

  1. Copy the text out of your Arjun document. It may show as English letters, which is fine.
  2. Paste it into the Arjun box. Unicode Hindi appears on the right. For a whole Word file with its bold, italic and tables, use Upload Word file instead.
  3. Press Copy text and paste the converted Arjun text where it is needed. In Word, set it in a Unicode font such as Mangal or Nirmala UI.

Tip:Lines with पत्र are the quickest check: Arjun types it as i=k, and the right-hand box should show पत्र.

Good to know

  • In this font the colon in a heading such as विषय: is typed with the visarga key. It converts to the visarga ः, which looks like a colon but is a different character. If a portal or a search needs a real colon, replace it.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the Arjun font file and read by eye, and converted sentences were drawn back in the font itself to check they read correctly. It has not yet been run on a real office document, so please read anything important before you rely on it.
Can I use a Kruti Dev converter instead?
Most keys are the same, but not the ones listed above, and a Kruti Dev converter gets exactly those letters wrong. This page reads them the way Arjun draws them.
What happens to English words and numbers?
With the checkbox under the boxes ticked, numbers, dates and common English words stay as they are. Web and email addresses are always kept.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

What Arjun text is

Arjun is a Hindi font typed on the Kruti Dev keyboard. Like Kruti Dev, it stores Hindi as keyboard characters, so on a computer without the font भारत shows up as Hkkjr. This page turns those characters into real Unicode Hindi, which works everywhere.

How Arjun differs from Kruti Dev

  • = is half त्र. i=k is पत्र, where Kruti Dev types i=. A Kruti Dev converter turns every त्र in Arjun text into त्रा.
  • Hindi digits on the Alt-code keys. The number keys stay 0 to 9, and ० to ९ sit in the upper range of the font.
  • Signs of its own. ॐ, ॠ and ऌ have keys, and ि with a reph is one key.

The Arjun font file was read key by key. For the other direction use Unicode to Arjun. For text typed in Kruti Dev itself, use Kruti Dev to Unicode.
