What is the difference between Preeti and Unicode?
Preeti is an older Nepali font that draws Devanagari letters on top of English keys.
The text only looks Nepali while the Preeti font is selected; anywhere else it turns into letters
like g]kfn. Unicode is the modern standard: नेपाल is stored as real
Nepali characters, so it displays correctly on any device, can be searched on Google, and works
on websites, social media, and email.
How to use this converter
- Open your Preeti document (for example in Microsoft Word), select the text, and copy it.

To go the other way, choose Unicode → Preeti, paste Unicode text, copy the result, and set the font to Preeti in your document.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my Nepali text show as English letters?
It was typed in the Preeti font. Without the font, each Nepali letter shows as the English key it is stored on. Converting it to Unicode fixes this permanently.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device. That makes it safe for private documents.
Does it support Kantipur, PCS Nepali, or other fonts?
This converter is built for the standard Preeti layout. Other legacy fonts use different key layouts, so their text may not convert correctly.
Some letters came out wrong. What should I do?
Preeti documents sometimes use unusual key combinations for rare conjunct letters. Check the result, fix any odd letters by hand, and let me know the original text so I can improve the converter.
Why should my website use Unicode instead of Preeti?
Google can only read and rank Unicode text, and visitors on phones won’t have the Preeti font installed. Unicode makes your Nepali content searchable and readable everywhere.
