Why convert Preeti to Unicode?
Preeti is the font most Nepali documents were typed in before Unicode became common. Preeti does not store Nepali letters at all: it stores ordinary English keyboard characters and only looks Nepali when the Preeti font is installed. Copy that text into Facebook, an email or a government online form and it turns into nonsense such as "g]kfn". Unicode stores the real Nepali letters, so it displays correctly on every phone and computer, can be searched by Google, and is what websites and online applications expect.
How to use the converter
- Preeti to Unicode: copy the text from your Word file (it can still be in the Preeti font), paste it in the top box and copy the result.
- Unicode to Preeti: useful when a designer or a printing press needs Preeti text. Paste Unicode, copy the result, and set its font to Preeti.
- Roman to Nepali: type Nepali words the way they sound in English letters and get Unicode Nepali instantly, without installing a Nepali keyboard.

Two consonants typed together are joined automatically, so "namaste" gives नमस्ते and "raamro" gives राम्रो.
Frequently asked questions
Some words did not convert perfectly. Why?
Preeti text typed with unusual key combinations, or mixed with other fonts such as Kantipur or Sagarmatha, can produce small errors, usually around half letters and the reph (the र् above a letter). Check names and technical words before using the text in an official document.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
