Krutidev to Unicode Converter
This free Krutidev to Unicode converter transforms legacy Kruti Dev 010 and Kruti Dev 10 text into standard Unicode Devanagari in one click. The output works everywhere Unicode Hindi works, including Mangal font documents, email, WhatsApp, websites, and government e-office software. It correctly restores reph, rakar, chhoti ee matra position, and conjuncts, which basic converters often break. Paste your Kruti Dev text above and get clean Unicode instantly.
Why Convert Kruti Dev to Unicode?
Kruti Dev stores Hindi as English keyboard characters, so the text only looks correct when the Kruti Dev font is installed. Send that file to a phone or paste it into an email and it turns into meaningless letters like fganh instead of Hindi.
Unicode fixes this permanently. Once converted, your Hindi text displays correctly on every device, becomes searchable in PDFs and Google, and can be copied into any modern application. Central government Rajbhasha guidelines also prefer Unicode for official correspondence, which is why offices are migrating old Kruti Dev files.

Kruti Dev 10 to Unicode: Same Tool, Same Result
Many typists search for a separate kurtidev10 to unicode or Kruti Dev 10 converter. You do not need one. Kruti Dev 10, Kruti Dev 010, and Kruti Dev 011 share the same character mapping, so this single tool converts all of them accurately.
The visible difference between these versions is only styling, such as letter weight and width. The underlying key positions are identical, which is what the converter reads.
What This Converter Handles That Others Miss
Legacy font conversion fails in predictable places. This tool was built around those failure points.
| Kruti Dev Pattern | What It Means | Handled |
|---|---|---|
| Chhoti ee before consonant (f) | In Kruti Dev the small ee matra is typed before the letter. It must move after the letter in Unicode. | Yes, including half letter clusters |
| Reph (Z) | The flying r mark typed after a letter must become half ra before the letter, as in karm and dharm. | Yes |
| Rakar (z) | The attached ra below letters, as in pradesh and kram. | Yes |
| Conjunct glyphs | Single symbols for ksha, tra, gya, shra, dva, and double letters. | Yes |
| Nukta letters | Dotted letters like za, fa, and dda used in Urdu origin words. | Yes |
When to Keep Kruti Dev and When to Move to Unicode
Unicode is the future, but Kruti Dev still has real uses. Keep Kruti Dev files for state typing exams, older DTP software, and offices that mandate it. Convert to Unicode when the text needs to travel: email, web publishing, mobile sharing, and long term archiving.
If you also need the Mangal font name specifically for office requirements, the output of this tool is already Mangal compatible. Read more on our Krutidev to Mangal converter page, or convert Mangal text back with the Mangal to Krutidev converter.
