Unicode Hindi works across modern devices. Kruti Dev is a legacy font encoding used in some existing documents and workflows. Likho includes the Kruti Dev font for this preview; a receiving application may need its own compatible font to display the copied text.
Use this free Unicode to Kruti Dev converter to change Hindi text written in Unicode into the legacy Kruti Dev font format. It also works as a Mangal to Kruti Dev converter. Mangal is a Unicode Devanagari font, so you can paste text copied from a Mangal document into the input box above. Likho converts it into Kruti Dev encoded output that you can preview, copy, or download. No separate conversion program is required.
Unicode is the standard character encoding used by modern websites, phones, and computers. Hindi text stored in Unicode can be shared across systems and displayed with compatible Devanagari fonts. Mangal is a widely used Unicode font. Kruti Dev is a legacy Hindi font system that uses a different character mapping. Simply changing a font name does not convert the text. The underlying characters must be changed to the required legacy mapping.
To convert Mangal text to Kruti Dev, copy Hindi text from a Unicode source such as a Mangal-font Word document, website, or typing application. Paste it into the Unicode Hindi text box. Select Convert to Kruti Dev, then inspect the result in the output preview. Choose Copy output to transfer the encoded text, or Download Word file to save it for editing. For long documents, test a short sample in your destination software first.
A Unicode to Kruti Dev converter is useful when an office, examination form, older database, printing workflow, or document template specifically requests Kruti Dev text. It can help move Hindi content from modern websites and Mangal documents into a legacy system. Before using the output, confirm which Kruti Dev font version your destination application expects. Legacy fonts and mappings can differ, so checking a sample is important.
After conversion, review matras, half-letters, conjunct consonants, punctuation, numbers, and special symbols. Conversion changes text encoding; it does not translate Hindi, proofread spelling, or guarantee that the original layout will remain unchanged. The preview uses the Kruti Dev font supplied with this page. Another computer or word processor may need a compatible font installed to display copied text correctly. Keep an original copy of important content before converting it. Save and verify each important document.
