Free Pinyin / Romaji Converter
The Pinyin / Romaji Converter turns Japanese kana into Romaji using a complete syllable table, and shows toneless Latin readings for Chinese characters where a reading is available. Great for language learners and transliteration.
How to Use
Paste Japanese text to read it as Romaji, or paste Chinese text to see any mapped Pinyin readings. Output updates as you type.
- Hiragana and Katakana to Romaji
- Handles small kana, sokuon (っ), and long vowels
- Common Chinese characters mapped to toneless Pinyin
- Unmapped characters pass through unchanged
- Runs entirely in your browser
Scope
Romaji conversion is complete for standard kana. The Pinyin side uses a small built-in dictionary since full Chinese reading requires a large lexicon — treat it as a helpful aid rather than a translator.
