InPage to Unicode Converter: Convert InPage Urdu Text to Unicode

Urdu newspapers, magazines and institutions in Pakistan and India still have billions of words of content that was created years ago in InPage software. This content is valuable, but since it is not in the modern Internet language, Unicode, it is neither visible on search engines nor opens properly on mobile phones. InPage to Unicode converter is a means of making this old treasure usable again.

Understand with an example

Suppose a newspaper has an important news file from 2005, which was created in InPage at that time. Today, if the same news is to be republished on a website, then copying and pasting it directly will result in strange symbols or blank boxes appearing across the page, and no reader will be able to read it. This is where this tool comes in handy: paste the old InPage text into it, and in a few seconds the same news is ready in clean Unicode Urdu, which can be copied and published immediately.

Why does the text on this page actually get corrupted?

This page uses its own code to store each character, which is different from the Unicode global standard. Within this page's own file or software, these codes appear in the form of beautiful Nastaliq letters, but as soon as these codes reach a Unicode-based location, the computer cannot recognize them and the text gets corrupted. The converter's job is to find each such code and replace it with its correct Unicode alternative, without any change in the order or meaning of the sentence.

How to use

• Open this page file and select the desired text and copy it.
• Paste it in the first box on this page and click "Convert".
• The Unicode text will immediately appear in the second box, which can be copied and used anywhere.

If there is no text at hand yet, you can use the sample button to see what the result will be. And once the text is ready, you can copy it directly or save it as a text file so that it can be used later.

Where is it useful?

• Newspaper archive restoration: Bringing old news and columns back to the website, so that readers can find them.
• Academic and research work: Saving excerpts from old books, articles or magazines in digital form.
• Institutional records: Transferring old Urdu documents from government or private offices to modern systems.
• Personal writings: Making a diary, letter or article written in this page years ago readable and shareable again.

What benefits does the text get after it comes to Unicode?

As soon as the text takes the form of Unicode, it becomes searchable on Google, appears correctly on every mobile and computer without any special font, and can be easily edited, copied or rearranged. In short, content that was previously restricted to the InPage is now open to the entire Internet world.
