Kanji to Romaji questions

What does Kanji to alphabet mean?

It usually means converting Japanese kanji or Japanese sentences to the Latin alphabet, known as Romaji. Romaji is the primary output on this page.

Can I convert Kanji to Hiragana?

Yes. Hiragana replaces kanji with their readings, while Furigana keeps the kanji and displays the reading above it.

Does one Kanji always have one Romaji reading?

No. Japanese kanji can have on-yomi, kun-yomi, and special readings. Context selects a likely reading, but names and places may need manual review.
