Bangla Converter is a free online Bengali font converter. Writers, journalists and publishers often type in Bijoy (SutonnyMJ), while the web, social media and mobile devices need Unicode. This tool converts between the two instantly, in both directions — and the conversion runs entirely in your browser, so it works offline too.
What a Bangla Converter Is, and When You Need One
A Bangla converter is a tool that changes Bangla text from one encoding into another. Two systems run side by side in Bangladesh — Bijoy (ANSI, with the SutonnyMJ font) in the printing world, and Unicode on the web and on phones. Text from one breaks when dropped straight into the other, which is why a conversion step is needed in between.
The usual reasons people need it: putting an old Word or press file onto a website, taking text from the web into a book or newspaper for print, posting on Facebook, or moving official paperwork into Unicode.
Which Converter Do You Need
Pick by what you have and what you need. If you are not sure, just paste it into the box above and let the tool work it out.
| What you have | What you need | Tool to use |
|---|---|---|
| Old Word or press text (showing as broken) | Text you can put on the web, Facebook or a phone | Bijoy to Unicode |
| Bangla text from a website or Wikipedia | Text ready to print from InDesign or Word | Unicode to Bijoy |
| Text typed with Avro | Bijoy format | Avro to Bijoy |
| I do not know which is which | Whichever I need | Paste into the box above — detected automatically |
| I want to write Bangla | Typing in Unicode | Avro Keyboard · Unicode Editor |
Unicode encoding
Unicode is a universal standard for encoding text in nearly every writing system, including Bangla. All modern operating systems ship with built-in Bangla Unicode fonts, so Unicode text displays correctly on any device without installing anything — which is why websites, apps and social media all use it.
Bijoy encoding
Bijoy is an ANSI-based character encoding for Bengali that works through font substitution: the correct characters appear only when an ANSI Bangla font such as SutonnyMJ is selected. ANSI supports just 256 characters, and the same bytes render differently under different fonts — for example, the letter m in an English font becomes স in a Bijoy font. That is why Bijoy text looks broken on the web, and why conversion to Unicode is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bangla Converter cost anything to use?
No. Every tool here is completely free, with no registration and nothing to install.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. The whole conversion happens inside your browser — your text is never sent to our server. That means confidential office and personal documents are safe to convert here.
Do I have to choose which direction to convert?
No. Paste into either box and the tool works out on its own whether the text is Bijoy or Unicode, then converts it the right way.
Do I need to install a font to convert?
Nothing is needed to read the Unicode result. But to see Bijoy-format text render as Bangla, the SutonnyMJ font has to be installed on your computer.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Every tool works fully in a mobile browser, including copy, paste and file downloads.
Can I convert a whole file at once?
Yes. Use the Open File button above the converter to upload a .docx or .txt file — Word files keep their bold, italic and table formatting through the conversion.
