What is the Inpage to Unicode Converter?
The Inpage to Unicode Converter is a free online tool that converts text written in legacy InPage (versions 1.x and 2.x) into standard Unicode Urdu. InPage was the most popular Urdu desktop publishing software for decades, but its old versions stored Urdu text in a proprietary font-based encoding instead of Unicode. That means text copied from an old InPage document looks like broken symbols when pasted anywhere else. This converter translates every InPage code into its correct Unicode Urdu character, so your old documents become readable, searchable and usable on the modern web.
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with an accurate character map covering the full Urdu alphabet, Urdu digits, diacritics (aerab), punctuation, honorifics and special symbols. It also handles InPage quirks automatically, such as digit runs stored in reverse order and multi-code precomposed letters.
How to Use the Inpage to Unicode Converter
Copy from InPage: Open your document in legacy InPage, press Ctrl+A to select all, then Ctrl+C to copy.
Paste here: Click inside the input box and press Ctrl+V to paste the InPage text.
Choose the language mode: Keep Urdu selected for Urdu documents, or switch to Arabic for Arabic documents.
Click Convert to Unicode: Your clean Unicode Urdu text appears instantly in the result box.
Copy the result: Use the Copy Result button and paste the Unicode text into Word, your website, WhatsApp or anywhere else.

Pro Tips
Use the example first: Click "try an example" to see exactly what InPage text looks like and what the converted output should be.
Convert in chunks: For very long books or magazines, converting chapter by chapter keeps results easy to review.
Check the digit order: Phone numbers and years are the most common place where legacy encodings misbehave, so glance at them after converting.
Keep a backup: Always keep your original InPage file untouched until you have verified the converted version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my InPage text look like garbage when pasted elsewhere?
Legacy InPage stores Urdu letters as special font codes, not as Unicode characters. Without the InPage fonts installed, other programs cannot interpret those codes. Converting to Unicode replaces them with standard characters every device understands.
Does this work with InPage 3 or newer?
No conversion is needed there. InPage 3 and later versions already save text as Unicode, so you can copy and paste directly without this tool.
Is my document uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs 100 percent in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
