Frequently asked questions
What is Preeti font?
Preeti is a popular legacy Nepali font that maps English keyboard keys to Devanagari characters. Without the font installed, Preeti text looks like random English letters. Unicode is the modern standard that displays correctly everywhere.

Can I convert Unicode back to Preeti?
Yes. Switch to the Unicode → Preeti tab, paste Unicode Nepali text, and get the Preeti equivalent. Useful when you need to edit older documents that still use Preeti.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. All conversion happens in your browser. Once the page is loaded you can use it without internet. Your text never leaves your device.
Is Preeti still used in Nepal?
Yes. Many older documents, newspapers and government files still use Preeti or similar legacy fonts. Converting them to Unicode makes the text searchable, copyable and readable on modern phones and computers.
Does it support other fonts like Kantipur?
This tool focuses on the classic Preeti mapping, which is the most widely used. Kantipur and PCS Nepali use slightly different key maps; if your text looks wrong, it may have been typed in one of those fonts.
Conversion uses the community Preeti character map and post-processing rules. Results are reliable for everyday Nepali text. Always proof-read important documents after conversion.
