Kruti Dev Excel to Unicode Converter

Upload an Excel file (.xlsx) or a .csv and every cell typed in Kruti Dev becomes Unicode Hindi in Mangal. Numbers, formulas, English cells, colours and column widths stay as they were, and the file never leaves your computer.

Convert a document

How to use

Choose the Excel file (.xlsx) or .csv below, or drag it onto the box. An old .xls file must first be saved as .xlsx in Excel: File → Save As → Excel Workbook.
Pick the font for the Hindi: Unicode in Mangal or Nirmala UI, or another Hindi font such as DevLys 010.
Download the converted file and open it in Excel. The Kruti Dev cells now hold Unicode Hindi, which you can search, sort, filter and paste anywhere.

Tip:Converting the other way? On Unicode to Kruti Dev the same upload turns Unicode cells into Kruti Dev 010.

Common problems & fixes

Some cells are still in Kruti Dev after converting: Only cells whose font is Kruti Dev (or DevLys and the other fonts on the same keys) are converted, because the font is the only sure way to tell Kruti Dev code from English. In the original file, select those cells, set their font to Kruti Dev 010, save and convert again.
My file is .xls, not .xlsx: Open it in Excel and choose File → Save As → Excel Workbook (.xlsx), then upload that copy. From Google Sheets, choose File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx).
The CSV opens in Excel as gibberish: A CSV has no fonts, so Kruti Dev text shows as English letters until its font is set. Use the Excel (.xlsx) download offered next to the CSV: the font is already set in it.
Text in charts, shapes or the page header did not change: Only cells and the notes on cells are converted. Copy that other text into the Kruti Dev to Unicode box and paste the result back.

Frequently asked questions

Does it change my numbers or formulas?

No. Numbers, dates and formulas are left exactly as they are. Only the text in cells set in a Kruti Dev font is converted, and formulas that refer to those cells keep working.

Is my Excel file uploaded anywhere?

No. Your own browser reads and converts the file, on your own computer. Nothing is sent to this site or anyone else, so it is safe for office data.

Can I convert a CSV file?

Yes. A CSV has no fonts, so each field is judged on its own: numbers, dates and English words stay, Kruti Dev text is converted. You get the converted CSV and an Excel file with the Hindi font already set. If you also have the file as .xlsx, convert that instead: its fonts say exactly which cells are Kruti Dev.

Which fonts does it convert?

On this page, Kruti Dev 010 and the other Kruti Dev versions, DevLys 010 and the fonts typed on the same keys. The upload on each converter page of this site works the same way for that page’s font.

Does it work with Google Sheets or LibreOffice?

Yes. In Google Sheets choose File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), convert that file here and open the result with File → Import. LibreOffice Calc opens and saves .xlsx files directly.
