Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter for Notepad Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Notepad, and other text editors are widely used for Hindi document creation in India — but many legacy documents were created using Kruti Dev font, long before Unicode became the standard. Converting these documents to Unicode Devanagari ensures that they open, display, and print correctly on any modern system without requiring the Kruti Dev font to be installed.
A Kruti Dev document in Word looks correct only when Kruti Dev font is selected for the Hindi text. If you share the document with someone who doesn't have Kruti Dev installed, the Hindi sections appear as a sequence of English letters and symbols. Similarly, copying text from such a document into an email, a web form, or another application results in unreadable output. Converting to Unicode solves all of these problems.
To convert a Word document: open the document, select all Kruti Dev text (you can use Ctrl+A if the entire document is in Kruti Dev, or manually select the Hindi sections), copy it, paste into this converter, copy the Unicode output, and paste it back into Word. Then select the pasted text and change the font to any Unicode Devanagari font such as Mangal, Nirmala UI, Kohinoor Devanagari, or Arial Unicode MS.
For Google Docs, the same process applies — Google Docs fully supports Unicode Devanagari without any special configuration. Once you paste Unicode Hindi into Google Docs, it displays correctly, is searchable, and can be shared with anyone. Notepad and other plain text editors also support Unicode (save as UTF-8 encoding when prompted).
Ideal for kruti dev to unicode converter for notepad workflows — paste your text in the box above and the converted output appears instantly. You can copy the result or download it as a .txt file.
Any Unicode Devanagari font works. The most commonly used options in India are: Mangal (included with Windows, required for some government portals), Nirmala UI (clean modern look, included with Windows 8+), Kohinoor Devanagari (available on macOS), and Lohit Devanagari (default on many Linux systems). For official government documents, Mangal is often the recommended choice.
Direct PDF conversion is not supported here. For PDF files: open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader, select and copy the Hindi text (if the PDF allows text selection), paste it into this converter, and copy the Unicode output. If the PDF was scanned (image-based), you will first need to use OCR software to extract the text.
This converter converts text content only — it does not carry over formatting. When you paste Unicode text back into Word or Google Docs, you will need to reapply bold, italic, font size, and other formatting manually. For large documents, use Word's "Find & Replace" or macro functions to efficiently reformat after conversion.
Yes. Once the text is in Unicode Devanagari, you can enable Hindi spell-check in Word by going to Review → Language → Set Proofing Language and selecting Hindi. Word's built-in Hindi dictionary will then underline misspellings in the Devanagari text.
