IDN Punnycode converter

5 of 90 ratings
Our IDN Punnycode Converter translates between human-readable internationalized domain names (IDNs) containing non-ASCII characters and their encoded Punnycode/ASCII representation used in the actual DNS system. This specialized tool is essential when working with domain names that include characters from non-Latin alphabets, such as Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic, or accented European letters. While modern browsers display IDNs in their native scripts, the underlying DNS system requires these names to be encoded in ASCII-compatible Punnycode format (starting with "xn--"). Web developers use this converter when configuring internationalized domains, network administrators when troubleshooting DNS issues with international domains, and digital marketers when setting up multilingual websites. The tool supports bidirectional conversion, allowing you to either encode IDN text into Punnycode or decode Punnycode back to its readable internationalized form. Whether you're working with global domain portfolios, implementing internationalized web addresses, or troubleshooting DNS configurations, this converter bridges the gap between human-readable international domain names and their technical implementation.
