What Mangal is
Mangal is a Hindi font that comes with Windows. It is a Unicode font: text typed in it is stored as real Hindi letters, so it still reads as Hindi in Nirmala UI, Noto Sans Devanagari or the font on a phone. Hindi typed with the Windows Hindi keyboard or Google Input Tools is Unicode in the same way, so it converts here too.
Kruti Dev 010 is older and works differently. It draws Hindi letters over English keys, so its text is stored as those keys: हिन्दी is saved as fgUnh.
Why offices still ask for Kruti Dev
Many offices, printers and typists set up their letters, forms and templates in Kruti Dev 010 before Unicode Hindi was common, and some still want new text in it so that it matches what they already have. Typists trained on the Kruti Dev keyboard keep using it too.
Choosing Kruti Dev in the font list does not change Mangal text, because Kruti Dev has no Unicode Hindi letters. The text has to be converted into Kruti Dev codes first. That is what this converter does.
Paste it into Word with the Kruti Dev font
- Copy the Mangal text (Ctrl+C) from Word, an email or a web page.
- Paste it in the first box. The Kruti Dev codes appear at once. They look like English letters; that is how Kruti Dev text is stored.
- Press Copy, go to Word and paste (Ctrl+V).
- Keep the pasted text selected and choose Kruti Dev 010 in the font list. The Hindi letters appear.
If the text still looks like English letters, the Kruti Dev 010 font is not installed on that computer. We do not supply it. Bold, tables and other formatting are not carried over by copy and paste; set them again after pasting.

How well it converts
| Test | Result | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Unicode → Kruti Dev | 1,000 / 1,000 | our output, read back by two other converters |
| Kruti Dev → Unicode | 980 / 980 | held-out words; 20 left out because the other converter dropped the nukta dot |
| Real Kruti Dev 010 documents | 99.2% | 907 words from 3 government PDFs not used to build or fix the converter (6 Nov 2026), checked by hand. A small sample: the likely range is 98.4% to 99.6% |

Known limits
- English letters and numbers are left as they are, so 2026 stays 2026.
- We keep the nukta dot (ज़ is written
t+). Some converters drop it. - The short o (ऒ) has no Kruti Dev glyph and is written as ओ.
- Some letters can be written more than one way in Kruti Dev; the Unicode to Kruti Dev page lists the code for every letter.
Questions

Yes. Mangal is a Unicode font, so its text converts the same way. The Unicode to Kruti Dev page adds a code chart for every letter.
Why does the result look like English letters?
Kruti Dev text is stored as English keys. It shows as Hindi only when the Kruti Dev 010 font is chosen in Word or another app.
Does it work for text in Nirmala UI or from Google Input Tools?
Yes. Both give Unicode Hindi, the same as Mangal.
Can I convert a whole Word (.docx) file?
Not yet. Copy the text out of Word, convert it here and paste it back.
Can I go back from Kruti Dev to Mangal?
Yes, use the swap button above or the Kruti Dev to Mangal page.
Does my text leave my device?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, and our release test checks that no network request carries your text.
