Convert Mangal to KrutiDev, Unicode to legacy
Paste Mangal (Unicode) Hindi text and get KrutiDev 010 output, for offices, typing exams, and legacy layouts still on KrutiDev.
Mangal to KrutiDev, One Paste
Mangal is a Unicode Devanagari font from Microsoft, so anything you type using Mangal in Word is standard Unicode text. When an office worker preparing files in Microsoft Word needs to hand content to a typist or a legacy system running Kruti Dev 010, they need Mangal to KrutiDev conversion. This tool takes any Unicode Hindi input and outputs the matching KrutiDev keystrokes, character by character, preserving matras, conjuncts, half-forms, and the short-i prefix reorder that the Remington layout uses.
KrutiDev is a legacy, non-Unicode font that maps Devanagari onto ASCII English keys. Converting to it means going from a modern, portable standard back to an older encoding, usually because a specific workflow, exam, or piece of software still requires KrutiDev.
Why Convert Modern Mangal Back to KrutiDev?
Most conversion runs the other way, from legacy KrutiDev to modern Unicode, but plenty of workflows still run on KrutiDev, so the reverse is just as common. Older word processors, WPS Office templates, and DTP layouts built in the KrutiDev era only accept the legacy encoding, and retyping Unicode content by hand is slow and error-prone.
Government offices, legal documents, and publishing houses that standardized on Kruti Dev 010 years ago still maintain files in it. If your source is a modern Word document typed in Mangal but the destination is a KrutiDev system, this converter bridges the two in one paste.
Who Needs Mangal to KrutiDev
The most common reason is government typing exams. Many computer-based typing tests, Data Entry Operator and stenographer exams, and state government skill tests are still conducted on the KrutiDev Remington layout rather than Unicode. Candidates who draft or practice in Mangal need their text in KrutiDev to match the exam format.
Beyond exams, DTP operators, print shops, and data-entry teams tied to legacy software convert Mangal to KrutiDev regularly to keep old and new files compatible without re-typing. Check your own exam notification or workflow for the exact font it expects.
How it works
Paste Mangal / Unicode text
Copy your Unicode Hindi text from Microsoft Word, Google Docs, WhatsApp, or the web, and paste it into the input box.
Convert live
KrutiDev output appears in the output box as you type, with the engine handling matras, nuktas, conjuncts, and half-forms.
Paste into Word, apply the font
Copy the KrutiDev output into Microsoft Word or WPS Office and apply the Kruti Dev 010 font so it displays as Devanagari.
Heads up: KrutiDev output is a legacy font
The converted text uses an ASCII character map, so before you apply the Kruti Dev 010 font it looks like random English letters, and it will not render on WhatsApp, mobile, or the web. It shows as Hindi only inside Microsoft Word, WPS Office, or a DTP layout with the Kruti Dev font installed. If you need text that works everywhere without a font, keep it in Mangal (Unicode) instead.
