About AMS Font Converter
A free, accurate, and privacy-focused tool built for Hindi and Marathi designers, printers, and typists.
Who We Are
AMS Font Converter is an independent web tool developed by a team passionate about Indian language computing. We recognized the gap between modern Unicode text and the legacy AMS font system still widely used in India's printing and design industry, and built a tool to bridge it.
Why We Built This
AMS (Akshar Mala System) fonts remain the go-to choice for wedding card designers, poster makers, and DTP operators across India. However, most modern text input uses Unicode, creating a constant need for conversion. Existing tools were either limited to one direction, lacked live preview, or provided poor mobile experiences. We built AMS Font Converter to solve all these problems.
Our Technical Approach
504-Character Mapping
Our conversion engine covers 504 Unicode Devanagari to AMS character mappings, including all conjunct characters (संयुक्ताक्षर) and special ligatures.
Bidirectional Conversion
Unlike most tools, we support both Unicode→AMS and AMS→Unicode conversion, ensuring you can work in either direction.
100% Client-Side
All conversion happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device — we have zero access to your content.
TTF & OTF Support
AMS fonts come in two encoding variants. Our converter supports both TTF and OTF modes with a simple toggle.
Font Licensing & Responsibility
AMS Font Converter is a character encoding conversion tool only. We do not distribute, sell, or license any font files. Users are solely responsible for obtaining proper licenses for any fonts they use with the converted text.
Under Indian copyright law (based on the precedent set in Re: Anand Expanded Italics), typeface designs themselves are not protected by copyright in India. However, font software files (TTF, OTF, WOFF2) may be protected as software under copyright law. We respect these distinctions and encourage users to verify font licensing before use.
Accuracy & Quality
Our conversion mapping was built through careful analysis of the AMS encoding system and validated against multiple test cases including common Hindi words, conjunct characters, and numerical text. We continuously test and refine the mapping to ensure the highest accuracy.
If you find any conversion errors, please let us know so we can improve the tool for everyone.
