Keyboard Layout Converter
Convert between QWERTY and Dvorak layouts
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a keyboard layout?
A keyboard layout is the arrangement of keys on a keyboard. QWERTY is the standard English layout, while Dvorak is an alternative designed for faster, more ergonomic typing with less finger movement.
How does layout conversion work?
The tool maps each character from one layout to its equivalent position on the other layout. For example, typing "q" on QWERTY becomes "," on Dvorak because both keys are in the same physical position.
Why would I need layout conversion?
Layout conversion is useful when you accidentally type on the wrong keyboard layout, when collaborating with someone using a different layout, or when trying to understand text typed on an unfamiliar layout.
What characters are supported?
The tool supports all standard US keyboard characters including letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols. Special characters and function keys are not converted as they remain in the same positions on both layouts.
