Hindi numeral converter
Paste Hindi numerals to get English digits, or type English numbers to convert them to Devanagari — supports integers, decimals, and mixed text.
About this tool
The digits 0 through 9 used across most of the world are called Arabic numerals, but they originated in India and reached Europe through Arabic scholarship — which is why they are more precisely known as Hindu-Arabic numerals. Devanagari retains its own set of glyphs for the same ten values: ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९. They are not a different number system, merely a different way of drawing the same positional decimal digits, so ४२ and 42 are the same quantity written in different scripts. You encounter Devanagari numerals in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit texts, in Indian government documents and signage, in page numbering in printed books, and in date formats. Converting between the two scripts comes up when digitising documents, cleaning OCR output, preparing data for systems that only accept ASCII digits, or localising content in the other direction. This tool converts in both directions and preserves everything that is not a digit — letters, spaces, and punctuation pass through untouched, so you can paste a whole sentence rather than isolating the numbers first. It runs in your browser.

मूल्य ₹५०० हैमूल्य ₹500 हैSome digits convert and others do not
Cause: Several Indic scripts have their own numeral glyphs that look broadly similar — Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Tamil each occupy a different Unicode block. Mixed-script text, common in OCR output, converts only the Devanagari range.
Fix: Check which script the unconverted digits actually belong to. Text scanned from a multilingual document frequently mixes numeral sets in ways that are invisible at a glance.
Converted numbers are rejected by a form or database
Cause: The receiving system validates against ASCII digits. Devanagari numerals are letters as far as most numeric validators are concerned, so they fail even when the value is correct.
Fix: Convert to English digits before submitting to any system that parses numbers. Store data in ASCII digits and convert to Devanagari only for display.
Digits inside words are converted unexpectedly
Cause: Conversion is character-by-character across the whole input, so a digit embedded in an identifier, a product code, or a URL is converted along with everything else.
Fix: Convert only the portion of text you intend to change. Isolate identifiers and URLs before pasting, since these usually need to stay in ASCII regardless of the surrounding language.

What are Hindi numerals?
Hindi numerals (also called Devanagari or Indo-Arabic numerals) are the digit forms used in Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali writing: ०, १, २, ३, ४, ५, ६, ७, ८, ९ correspond to 0–9.
Does this tool handle mixed text?
Yes. Non-digit characters (letters, spaces, punctuation) are preserved as-is, so you can paste a full sentence containing Hindi digits and only the digits will be converted.
Are decimals and negative numbers supported?
Yes. Decimal points and minus signs are passed through unchanged, so numbers like -३.१४ correctly convert to -3.14 and vice versa.
Which languages use Devanagari numerals?
Devanagari numerals (०–९) are used in Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. While all these languages share the same numeral shapes, the tool works for any text that uses these digit forms regardless of the surrounding script.
Can I convert a full sentence containing Hindi numbers?
Yes. Non-digit characters — letters, spaces, punctuation — are passed through unchanged. Only the Devanagari digit characters are converted, so you can paste an entire paragraph and get the digits replaced without altering the surrounding text.
