Simplified ↔ Traditional Converter
Convert Chinese text between Simplified (简体) and Traditional (繁體) characters.
漢語很有意思
Simplified characters (简体) are standard in Mainland China and Singapore; Traditional characters (繁體) are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Many characters are identical, but thousands differ — 国 vs 國, 爱 vs 愛.
Paste text and convert in either direction. It is perfect for reading material from a different region, preparing study notes, or checking how a name or phrase looks in both scripts.
Which regions use which script?
Simplified: Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia. Traditional: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau. The spoken language is the same.
Is the conversion always one-to-one?
Mostly, but a few simplified characters map to several traditional ones depending on meaning; this tool uses the standard mapping for general text.
