Questions about this resource
How can I add pinyin above Chinese characters?
Paste Chinese text into the converter. The preview shows pinyin above the characters. Check unfamiliar words in the dictionary: for example, 行 is háng in 银行 but xíng in 行走. Automatic readings can need correction.
What is Hanyu Pinyin?
Hanyu Pinyin is the official system for writing Mandarin pronunciation in Latin letters. Marks above the vowels show the four tones, as in mā, má, mǎ and mà. This converter turns Chinese characters into Hanyu Pinyin with tone marks.
How can I copy Chinese text with pinyin into Word or Google Docs?
Choose Copy Text. It copies plain text in pairs of lines: pinyin followed by Chinese characters. It does not copy Word phonetic guides or preserve the preview’s ruby annotations. Spacing can change with the font in your document.
Does a pinyin converter translate Chinese?
No. Pinyin represents Mandarin pronunciation, not the meaning. Use the dictionary for definitions or the reader to look up words in a passage.
Can I save or share my annotated text?
The tool keeps recent history in this browser. Account saving is a separate action that requires signing in. A share link contains the text in its URL, so anyone with that link can read it; avoid sharing private text.
