About this AMS Font Converter
This is a free, browser-based tool that converts Hindi Unicode (Devanagari) text into AMS ASCII code — the Roman-letter encoding that AMS fonts use to render Hindi. Type in Hindi (or English, which is auto-translated), and the tool produces the exact key sequence you can paste into any document, design app, or website that uses an AMS font.
Everything runs entirely on your device. Nothing you type and no font you upload is ever sent to a server, so your work stays private. You can preview the result live in any AMS font, switch fonts from a dropdown, load your own TTF/OTF font, copy the AMS code in one click, and export the preview as a PNG or transparent PNG.
It's built for designers, DTP operators, printers, and content creators who work with legacy AMS Hindi fonts in tools like Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Illustrator, or Word, where Unicode text won't display correctly and AMS ASCII code is needed instead.
How to use the tool
- Type your text: Enter Hindi text in the box at the top. You can also type English — it will be translated to Hindi automatically before conversion.
- Pick a font: Use the Font dropdown to choose any AMS style for the live preview, or upload your own font (next step).
- Upload a custom font (optional): Click Upload font and select a
.ttfor.otffile. It loads instantly and is auto-selected in the preview. - Adjust the look: Change the font size, text colour, and background colour. Toggle V2 (OTF) rules if you're using a newer OTF-style AMS font that needs the alternate mapping.
- Copy the AMS code: The converted ASCII code appears in the output box. Click Copy code and paste it wherever you have the AMS font installed.
- Download an image: Use PNG for a normal background or Transparent PNG to export the preview with no background.
Frequently asked questions
What is AMS ASCII code?
AMS fonts are legacy (non-Unicode) Hindi fonts where each Devanagari character is mapped to one or more Roman letters or symbols. The "ASCII code" is that Roman sequence — for example, typing it while the AMS font is active draws the correct Hindi glyphs. This converter generates that sequence from normal Unicode Hindi.
Do I need the AMS font installed to use the code?
Yes. The copied code only renders as Hindi when the matching AMS font is applied to it in your design or document software. Without the font, you'll just see the raw Roman characters. The preview here shows you how it will look once the font is applied.
Can I convert English text too?
Yes. If you type English, the tool first translates it to Hindi, then converts that to AMS code. For the most accurate results, typing directly in Hindi is recommended, since translation can occasionally interpret words differently.
What does the "V2 (OTF) rules" toggle do?
Some newer OpenType (OTF) versions of AMS fonts use a slightly different internal mapping for matras and vowels. Turn this on if your OTF font shows misplaced vowel signs with the default output; leave it off for classic TTF AMS fonts.
Is my text or uploaded font sent anywhere?
No. All conversion, preview, and image export happen in your browser. Uploaded fonts are loaded locally and never uploaded to any server. The only network request is the optional English-to-Hindi translation, which sends just the text you type when you use English input.
What image formats can I download?
You can export the preview as a high-resolution PNG with your chosen background colour, or as a transparent PNG that you can layer over other designs.
Which fonts are supported for upload?
You can upload .ttf, .otf, .woff, and .woff2 files. The uploaded font is used purely for the on-screen preview so you can check how your specific AMS font renders the generated code.
