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 in Unicode / Nepali. Only its 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. Type or paste the Nepali that has to go into a Akshar document.
  2. Press Copy Akshar code.
  3. Paste into Word and set the font to Akshar, or use Download .docx, which sets it for you.

Tip:Before you paste a whole page, check a line with हृदय in the preview. Akshar types it as ›bo and Himalaya as Xbo, so it shows at once that the right font was picked.

Good to know

  • This font has no key for these letters and signs: ऌ ऽ ॥ ़. They are left unchanged and flagged under the output box, and Word draws them in another font.

How Akshar compares with Preeti

Akshar types 130 of the 190 keys of Preeti the same way. Keys with a different letter: 33. Keys only Akshar has: 14. That is why many documents convert alike in both, and why the keys below are worth knowing. All of it is read from the same key maps the converter uses.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it say Beta?
Every key was drawn from the Akshar 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.
The output looks like English letters. Is that right?
Yes. That is Akshar code. Press Preview (Nepali) to see it in the Akshar font here, or set the font to Akshar in Word.
Some characters were left as they were. Why?
Akshar has no key for a few characters, such as ळ. They are left unchanged and a note appears under the output box.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.

When you need Akshar

Nepali typed on a phone or copied from a website is Unicode. Pasted into a document set in Akshar, it shows the wrong letters. This page writes it out again as the keys Akshar expects, in the order the font draws them: नेपाल becomes g]kfn.

The Akshar keys it uses

  • Himalaya's keyboard. The number keys are digits (2081 is २०८१) and Preeti's letters from that row are on the shifted keys.
  • फ on F, झ on X, ँ on ~. Himalaya has ा and हृ on the first two, and ँ on ¤.
  • Punctuation on the upper keys. Brackets and signs that the letter keys took have new places in the upper range.

To go back, use Akshar to Unicode. For a document set in Himalaya, use Unicode to Himalaya instead.
