One word, four encodings

Preeti and Kantipur are legacy encodings: Latin characters that look Nepali only when the matching font is installed. Unicode stores real Devanagari, so it works everywhere. That is why converting between them matters.

Common questions

How do I type Nepali using English keyboard?

Open the Nepali Typing Tool and type phonetically in English. 'namaste' gives नमस्ते, 'nepal' gives नेपाल. No special keyboard or font installation needed.

How do I convert roman to Preeti font?

First use the Typing Tool to convert roman/English text to Unicode Nepali. Then use the Font Converter in Unicode → Preeti mode to get Preeti output.

How do I convert Kantipur font to Unicode?

Paste your Kantipur text into the Font Converter using Preeti → Unicode mode. Kantipur uses a similar encoding to Preeti and converts correctly for most characters.

Does this work for Nepali speakers in India?

Yes, fully. The tool works in any browser on any device in India without any installation. It is free for everyone.

What is the difference between roman Nepali and Preeti?

Roman Nepali uses English letters phonetically (e.g. 'namaste'). Preeti is a legacy font encoding where Latin characters represent Devanagari glyphs. Use the Typing Tool for roman input; use the Font Converter for Preeti/Kantipur.
