Why Offices Are Moving From Kruti Dev to Mangal

See how Unicode Hindi differs from Kruti Dev before choosing a format for your office files.

For years, Kruti Dev 010 was the standard for Hindi typing in Indian offices. Today, however, more and more work happens in places where Kruti Dev simply breaks:

  • eOffice and online portals read Unicode, so Kruti Dev text uploads as gibberish.
  • WhatsApp and email show Kruti Dev as English letters like Hkkjr on the other person’s phone.
  • Search does not work: neither Google nor Windows search can find a Hindi word inside Kruti Dev text.
  • Every new computer needs the font installed, while Mangal already comes with Windows.

So converting old Kruti Dev files to Mangal once saves trouble every single day after. Here is what the conversion looks like:

How to Convert Kruti Dev to Mangal

Short text

  1. Copy the Kruti Dev text from your document (Ctrl+C). It may look like Hindi on your screen; that is fine.
  2. Paste it into the first box above. The Mangal version appears instantly.
  3. Tap Copy text and paste it into your document, email or portal. It stays readable everywhere, with no font to install.

A whole Word or Excel file

  1. Tap Upload and choose the .docx or .xlsx file.
  2. The tool finds every piece of text set in a Kruti Dev font, converts it, and switches it to Mangal automatically.
  3. English text, tables, bold, headers and footers stay as they were. The new copy downloads with “(Unicode)” in its name, and your original stays untouched.

Old Notepad files

Many old Kruti Dev .txt files use the ANSI format. Most converters show them as broken symbols. Upload the file here, and the tool reads it correctly.

Your Checklist After Converting

A good conversion still deserves a quick proofread, especially for official letters and orders. Check these spots first:

  1. Conjuncts: words with क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र and द्ध.
  2. Reph words: words with र् on top, such as कार्य, धर्म and पूर्व.
  3. Numbers: Kruti Dev types Hindi digits with special keys, so they become १२३. English digits stay as English digits.
  4. Colons: a colon right after a Hindi word comes back as a visarga (ः), because Kruti Dev uses one key for both.
  5. Text inside images: scanned stamps or pictures of text cannot change, so retype those parts.
  6. Save as a new file: keep the Kruti Dev original until you finish checking.

Mangal or Nirmala UI: Which One Should You Use?

Both are Unicode fonts, so the converted text is the same either way. Mangal is the classic office font, and many government templates still name it. Nirmala UI is the newer Hindi font in Windows 8 and later.

Here is the best part: once your text is Unicode, you can switch between Mangal, Nirmala UI or any other Hindi Unicode font at any time, simply by changing the font. No second conversion needed. Our converted files use Mangal because offices ask for it most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kruti Dev to Mangal the same as Kruti Dev to Unicode?

Yes. Mangal is a Unicode font, so converting to Unicode is all it takes. You can also use our Kruti Dev to Unicode converter; both give the same result.

Will my formatting stay after converting a Word file?

Yes. Bold, tables, font sizes, headers and footers stay as they were. Only the Kruti Dev text changes, and the tool sets it to Mangal for you.

Can I convert many files at once?

The tool converts one file at a time, and each file takes only a few seconds. For a folder of files, simply upload them one after another.

Does it work for Kruti Dev 011 or 016?

The tool follows the Kruti Dev 010 keyboard, which most offices use. Other numbered versions can differ in a few letters, so convert one sentence first and compare.

Can I convert a Kruti Dev PDF?

If the PDF has selectable text, copy it into the box above. A scanned PDF holds only pictures of text, so it needs OCR (text recognition) first.

Is it free and private?

Yes. There is no signup or limit, and your files never leave your device.
