Convert Nepali Unicode text to Preeti font instantly with this free online tool. Preeti remains the most widely used typing font in Nepal — a favourite of writers, government offices, printing presses and publishers — and many desktop publishing workflows still require it. Just paste or type your Unicode text into the "Unicode Text" box below and the Preeti version appears instantly; then copy it and use it in Microsoft Word, Photoshop, InDesign or any other program. The converter also supports other legacy Nepali fonts that share the Preeti layout, including Ganesh, Himal, Everest and Kantipur.

You can download the converted text as a Word file, send it via Gmail or Web WhatsApp, or copy the result in a single click using the "Copy To Clipboard" button. Working in the other direction? Use our Preeti to Unicode converter instead.

Please Note: You will need to have the Preeti font installed on your system to see the converted text in Nepali. Without it, the output box shows Roman characters — the text is still correct and will display as Nepali once pasted into a program with the Preeti font applied.

How to Convert Unicode to Preeti

  1. Paste or type your Nepali Unicode text into the "Unicode Text" box above (copied from a website, email, Facebook, WhatsApp or any document).
  2. The Preeti text appears instantly in the "Preeti Text" box — you can also click the "Convert To Preeti" button.
  3. Copy the result and paste it into Word, Photoshop, InDesign or any program, then set the font to Preeti to see it in Nepali. You can also download it as a Word file or share it via WhatsApp or Gmail.

Why Convert Unicode to Preeti?

Unicode is the modern standard for Nepali text, but a large part of Nepal's publishing and office ecosystem still runs on the Preeti font. Converting Unicode back to Preeti is essential when you need to:

  • Prepare files for printing presses — most presses and typesetters in Nepal still expect manuscripts in Preeti.
  • Design in Photoshop, PageMaker or older InDesign versions — legacy design software often renders Nepali correctly only with TTF fonts like Preeti.
  • Match existing office documents — government offices and organisations with archives of Preeti documents need new text in the same font.
  • Edit old files — when updating a document originally typed in Preeti, converted text blends in seamlessly.
  • Create banners, pamphlets and wedding cards — print designers commonly work in Preeti for decorative Nepali layouts.

Unicode vs Preeti: Which Should You Use?

Use case Recommended format
Websites, blogs, social media, email, mobile messaging Unicode
Government online portals and forms Unicode
Printing press manuscripts and typesetting Preeti
Photoshop, PageMaker and legacy design software Preeti
Editing existing office documents typed in Preeti Preeti

As a rule of thumb: use Unicode for anything digital that will be read on screens, and Preeti for print and legacy design workflows. Since this tool and our Preeti to Unicode converter work in both directions, you can move freely between the two at any time.

Where to Get the Preeti Font

To view and use the converted text, the Preeti font (a free TrueType font) must be installed on your computer. On Windows, download the Preeti TTF file, right-click it and choose "Install". On a Mac, double-click the TTF file and click "Install Font". Once installed, select "Preeti" as the font in Word, Photoshop or any other application and paste the converted text.

Its biggest benefit is universal support: it works on Windows and Linux computers, Macs, Android phones, iOS devices and virtually every other modern device.
3. Do I need a font installed to use the converted Preeti text?

The Preeti font was created by Bhadrakali Mishra. It is one of the most widely used fonts in Nepal.
