Hindi Font Converter: Mangal/Unicode ↔ Kruti Dev 010

Maintained by Nitin Mathuria · Updated 16 July 2026

Quick answer: Convert Hindi text between Unicode/Mangal and legacy Kruti Dev 010. Choose a direction, paste text and copy the result. This is a text converter, not a typing test; the official exam notice still controls the required font and keyboard arrangement.

Conversion happens locally in your browser.

What is Mangal to Kruti Dev conversion?

Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy Hindi font encoding commonly found in older documents. Unicode Hindi stores characters in a standard text encoding, so Unicode/Mangal text can be searched, copied and shared more reliably. Changing the font name alone does not convert the underlying text; the characters must be mapped between formats.

Important: Select the direction that matches your source. Unicode/Mangal → Kruti Dev produces legacy text that may need the Kruti Dev 010 font installed in older software. Kruti Dev → Unicode expects legacy encoded text, not Hindi that is already Unicode. Word formatting, page layout and unusual glyphs may not transfer perfectly, so proofread the output.

This tool runs in the browser after the converter script loads; the text is not sent to our server by this page. The converter is based on hindi-font-converter 1.0.0, an ISC-licensed JavaScript implementation with tests for both directions. It is provided as a practical utility, not as an official government conversion service.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Kruti Dev and Mangal?

Yes. Select Unicode/Mangal → Kruti Dev, then copy the legacy output into software that supports the Kruti Dev 010 font.

Can I use the converted text in a government typing exam?

Use the output for document preparation or checking only. A recruitment notice controls the required font, keyboard, speed, duration and error rules; this independent site is not an exam authority.
