Roman Urdu to Urdu Converter: Type in Roman, Get Urdu Instantly
This free Roman Urdu to Urdu converter turns what you type in English letters into proper Urdu script, right as you type. Write "mohabbat" and you get محبت. Write "aap kaise hain" and you get آپ کیسے ہیں. You don't need an Urdu keyboard, an app or an account. It works in your mobile browser.
Below you will learn how to use every feature, what it is useful for, and a few tips for getting the most accurate Urdu.
What Is Roman Urdu?
Roman Urdu is Urdu written in English (Latin) letters, like "shukriya" or "dil se". Most people in Pakistan type this way on WhatsApp and social media because a normal phone keyboard is in English.
The problem is that Roman Urdu has no fixed spelling. One person writes "mohabbat", another writes "muhabbat" or "mohabat". This converter understands these common spellings and gives you the correct Urdu word.
How to Use the Roman Urdu to Urdu Converter
1. Type your text in Roman Urdu in the top box.
2. The Urdu text appears below as you type, with no button to press.
3. Tap Copy Urdu and paste it anywhere: WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, a document or a comment.
Not sure where to start? Tap the Example button and a sample line is written for you, so you can see how the converter works.
