Been working with Hindi documents for years and one problem that never goes away is the KrutiDev vs Unicode headache. If you've typed in KrutiDev (or received old files in KrutiDev), you know what I mean paste it anywhere modern and it turns into complete gibberish.

I've tried various workarounds converting through MS Word macros, downloading heavy desktop software, even manually retyping content none of it is ideal.

Recently I came across  https://krutidev-to-unicode.com/and it genuinely solved this for me. Here's why I think it's worth bookmarking:

✅ Works directly in the browser — no download, no installation, no account needed ✅ Instant conversion paste your KrutiDev text, get Unicode Devanagari in seconds ✅ Free to use no hidden charges or word limits nagging you ✅ Clean and simple UI even non-technical users can figure it out immediately ✅ Copy-ready output the converted Unicode text is ready to paste into Word, Google Docs, websites, anywhere

This is especially useful if you're:

• A government employee dealing with legacy Hindi documents
• A journalist or content writer converting old KrutiDev articles for digital publishing
• A developer who needs to migrate database content from KrutiDev to Unicode
• A student or researcher working with older Hindi source material

I've been using it for a few weeks now and it handles both simple and complex Devanagari combinations well. Saves me a ton of time.

Has anyone else been using this? Would love to hear if you've found other good tools for Hindi text conversion!
