How the converter works
Millions of people write Urdu using the English alphabet — that's Roman Urdu. It's quick for chatting, but many situations need proper Urdu script: official forms, school work, poetry, or social media posts that should look polished. This tool bridges the gap in both directions.
- Roman → Urdu: type “mera naam Ali hai” and get میرا نام علی ہے.
- Urdu → Roman: paste Urdu script and get readable Roman Urdu back — handy when your device can't show Urdu fonts properly.
- Roman → English: type “kon kahan ja raha hai” and see each word's English meaning — perfect for learning what Roman Urdu messages actually say.
The built-in dictionary covers everyday words — greetings, verbs, time words, family terms — and anything unfamiliar is converted with standard transliteration rules (kh → کھ, sh → ش, aa → آ and so on). Nothing you type ever leaves your device; conversion happens entirely in your browser. Want the full story? Read our Roman Urdu guide.

Why do some words look slightly off?
Roman Urdu has no fixed spelling — mein, main and men are all the same word. The tool picks the most common form. For important documents, give the result a quick proofread.
