Convert KrutiDev to Chanakya
legacy to legacy

Paste KrutiDev text and get Chanakya (Yogesh) output — for typesetters and DTP shops still on PageMaker.

Why Convert KrutiDev to Chanakya?

Chanakya and KrutiDev are both legacy Devanagari fonts built on the Remington keyboard, but their internal character maps differ enough that copy-pasting KrutiDev text into a Chanakya-based document produces garbled output. Print shops that standardized on Chanakya in the PageMaker era often receive files typed in KrutiDev from newer sources, and manual retyping is impractical. This converter maps every KrutiDev keystroke to its Chanakya equivalent so your final layout renders correctly with Chanakya fonts applied.

The engine routes through Unicode internally, so accuracy stays high even for conjuncts and matras.
