Conversion check
Compatibility note: this tool converts plain text for legacy InPage workflows. It does not create or modify .inp document files, and results should be checked before publication.
Fast workflow
Convert Urdu text in three steps
The two conversion directions solve different publishing problems. Choose the direction first, then keep the original document open so you can verify names, dates, punctuation, and specialist marks afterward.

Know the formats
Unicode Urdu and legacy InPage text are not the same
Unicode stores letters as standardized characters that modern systems can search, copy, and exchange. Earlier InPage workflows use encoded values designed for their own Urdu typesetting environment. A converter translates the text values; the Nastaliq appearance still comes from the font and layout software.
| Capability | Unicode Urdu | Legacy InPage text |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Websites, Word, search, databases, and messaging | Older InPage publishing and composition workflows |
| Portable across devices | Yes, with a suitable Urdu font | Usually requires compatible InPage software |
| Searchable online | Yes | Not reliably until converted |
| Page layout included | No, plain text only | No, copied text does not carry the document layout |
Practical workflows
An Urdu text converter for modern and legacy publishing
The useful result is not just a changed string of characters. It is text that can continue through the right publishing workflow, whether the source began in a modern app or an older InPage file.
Recover older InPage copy
Switch to InPage to Unicode when copied text looks encoded or unreadable outside its original document. The readable Unicode result can then be edited, searched, and shared in current software.
Keep a searchable Urdu version
Use Unicode for websites, online archives, email, and messaging. Keep the legacy InPage version only where that publishing software still needs it, then proofread names, numbers, and punctuation in both places.

اردو میں مدد
Word، WhatsApp یا ویب سائٹ سے آنے والے صاف اردو متن کے لیے Unicode to InPage منتخب کریں۔ اگر ان پیج سے کاپی کیا ہوا متن نشانوں کی صورت میں نظر آئے تو InPage to Unicode منتخب کریں۔
Private by design
Conversion happens with JavaScript on your device. Draft articles, books, and private documents are not submitted to an API.
Unsupported text is visible
When a Unicode Urdu character has no known legacy mapping, the tool preserves it and reports the issue instead of quietly removing content.
Text, not document layout
Bold text, columns, images, tables, margins, and other InPage document settings remain outside the scope of plain-text conversion.
Common questions
Unicode and InPage converter FAQ
What is a Unicode to InPage converter?
It changes standard Unicode Urdu characters into the legacy character encoding used by older versions of InPage. The result can be copied into a compatible InPage text frame for Urdu publishing and page layout.
Can this converter change InPage text back to Unicode Urdu?
Yes. Select InPage to Unicode, paste text copied from an older InPage document, and the tool will decode recognized legacy characters into searchable Unicode Urdu.
Is my Urdu text uploaded or stored?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser. The page does not send the text in either editor to a server or save a conversion history.
Does it convert an entire .inp document?
No. This is a plain-text converter. Open the document in InPage, copy its text, and paste that text into the converter. Page layout, images, tables, font sizes, and other document formatting are not preserved.
Why does the InPage result look like symbols?
That is expected. Legacy InPage text uses encoded character values that do not render as Urdu in a normal browser. Copy the result and paste it into a compatible older InPage version to see the intended Urdu script.
Which Urdu characters are supported?
The mapping covers the core Urdu alphabet, Urdu digits, common Arabic diacritics, Urdu punctuation, and several legacy InPage special sequences. Unrecognized Urdu characters are preserved and reported instead of being silently deleted.
