BanglaTools

Free Bengali Unicode and Bijoy conversion tools for writers and developers.

Overview

BanglaTools is a free online workspace for converting between modern Bangla Unicode and legacy Bijoy ANSI encoding. It handles text, Word documents, and Excel spreadsheets with proper character reordering and glyph mapping. The tool is designed for editors, publishers, students, government teams, and developers who work across web and desktop publishing workflows.

All conversion happens locally in your browser—text and files are not uploaded to a server. The converter supports bidirectional conversion (Unicode to Bijoy and Bijoy to Unicode), recognizes Avro input, and preserves document structure including paragraphs, tables, formulas, and cell styles.
