Keep both the Shree Lipi original and the Unicode download until the receiving person or the upload form accepts it. Legacy Hindi fonts are not Unicode.

Here is the decision for Shree Lipi Converter. You start with Shree Lipi and you stop when a real program accepts Unicode. The converter maps Shree Lipi toward Unicode Hindi in the browser. Running Unicode through a Kruti Dev or Devlys converter scrambles real Hindi. If those two sentences describe a tradeoff you do not want, do not convert. Renaming the extension by hand will not do this job. Running the tool twice on its own output will not do it either.

If the text was Kruti Dev or Devlys, use that tool instead. A wrong mapping looks like Hindi and says something else. Check a line before you convert the file.

A related step, if you still need one, is Unicode to Krutidev.

Other jobs start from the homepage, where each tool is named for the conversion it actually does.
