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 Hindi. Only the Hindi 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 Hindi that has to go into a Krishna document.
  2. Press Copy Krishna code.
  3. Paste into Word and set the font to Krishna, or use Download .docx, which sets it for you.

Tip:Before you paste a whole page, check a line with शक्ति in the preview. Krishna types it as 'kfŸ and Kruti Dev as 'kfDr, so it shows at once that the right font was picked.

Good to know

  • In this font a colon after a word is typed with the visarga key, because the colon key draws रू here. Pasted into a program without the font, it shows as a percent sign.
  • This font has no key for these letters and signs: ङ ञ. They are left unchanged and flagged under the output box, and Word draws them in another font.

How Krishna compares with Kruti Dev

Krishna types 151 of the 152 keys of Kruti Dev the same way. Keys with a different letter: 1. Keys only Krishna has: 44. 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 Krishna 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 Krishna code. Press Preview (Hindi) to see it in the Krishna font here, or set the font to Krishna in Word.
Some characters were left as they were. Why?
Krishna has no key for a few characters, such as ऩ. 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 Krishna

Hindi typed on a phone or copied from a website is Unicode. Pasted into a document set in Krishna, it shows the wrong letters. This page writes it out again as the keys Krishna expects, in the order the font draws them: भारत becomes Hkkjr.

The Krishna keys it uses

  • Vowels on one key. आ, ओ, औ and ऋ each have a single key in the upper range (Á Î Ï Û).
  • Hindi digits on the Alt-code keys. The number keys stay 0 to 9.
  • Ready-made conjuncts of its own. श्च, श्व, ह्व and दृ each have one key in the upper range (õ ý à å).

To go back, use Krishna to Unicode. For a document set in Kruti Dev, use Unicode to Kruti Dev instead.
