Overview

Free Japanese Keyboard Online — Type Japanese (日本語) Without Installing

AZRS's online Japanese keyboard lets you type Hiragana and Katakana scripts in any browser without installing Japanese input software. Copy your Japanese text and paste it into any app. The page keeps standard left-to-right text direction throughout.

Japanese writing uses three scripts: Hiragana (ひらがな), Katakana (カタカナ), and Kanji (漢字). Hiragana and Katakana each have 46 base characters. This keyboard covers both syllabic scripts plus common special characters. Enabling Japanese input (IME) on a non-Japanese device is complex. Our browser-based keyboard lets you type Japanese characters instantly without any system configuration.

How to use

Use it in 4 steps

Open the Japanese keyboard page — it loads with the Japanese layout and correct text direction already active.

Type romaji on your physical keyboard — it converts to hiragana/katakana live as you type — or tap the on-screen kana keys directly.

Use the diacritics strip for kana modifiers (dakuten ゛, handakuten ゜, small tsu っ, long-vowel bar ー) the base layout doesn't cover.

Tap Translate to see it in another language, Copy to grab it for WhatsApp/Word/email, or Save to download it as a text file.

Do and don’t

Tips for the best results

Type romaji for speed for common words, and switch to tapping individual kana keys for names or words you want full control over.
Add kana modifiers only where pronunciation actually needs it — Japanese text is usually readable without them, and heavy marking can look unnatural in casual messages.
Use Translate before sending something important to double-check the meaning came through the way you intended.
Bookmark the Japanese keyboard's own page (/japanese-keyboard/) instead of the generic keyboard page if this is the language you type most — it loads straight into Japanese with no extra tap.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting the physical keyboard's printed Latin letters to match Japanese script — this tool converts sounds or provides on-screen keys, it doesn't relabel your physical keys.
Forgetting to add kana modifiers in formal or ambiguous text where pronunciation actually matters.
Closing the tab before tapping Copy or Save — typed text isn't stored anywhere unless you explicitly copy or download it.
