Full-Width Half-Width Converter for Kana, Letters, Spaces Questions
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Conversion runs in your browser, and your text is not sent anywhere.
What’s the difference between full-width and half-width?
Full-width characters are wider (e.g., ＡＢＣ) and common in Japanese text, while half-width are narrower (ABC). Many systems prefer half-width for consistent input and search.
What exactly gets converted?
It focuses on full-width alphanumerics → half-width, half-width Katakana → full-width, and full-width spaces → half-width. Optional space cleanup and symbol normalization are available; Kanji/Hiragana are left as-is.
Why normalize hyphens or wave dashes?
Lookalike symbols can be different characters, which breaks searching and comparisons. Normalizing them helps avoid subtle mismatches.
Can I use this before pasting into Excel?
Yes. Normalizing width and spaces before CSV/Excel input helps with search, sorting, and deduplication.
Why convert half-width Katakana to full-width?
Half-width Katakana can render inconsistently depending on fonts and systems. Converting to full-width improves consistency and searchability.
