Free Online Spanish Keyboard – Type Spanish with ñ and All Accents

Welcome to the most complete Spanish keyboard online (teclado español)! Our free virtual keyboard gives you instant access to the letter ñ, accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú), diaeresis (ü), and inverted punctuation marks (¿ ¡) – everything you need to type perfect Spanish from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Whether you're in Madrid, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, or anywhere else, AnyKeyboard brings Spanish typing to your fingertips.

Why do over half a billion people need an online Spanish keyboard? Spanish is the 4th most spoken language in the world with 559 million speakers across 21 countries. It's the official language of Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and 17 other nations. However, most computers outside Spanish-speaking regions lack easy access to ñ and Spanish accents. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for Spanish students, business professionals, travelers, and the Hispanic diaspora worldwide.

The Spanish alphabet includes 27 letters – the 26 Latin letters plus ñ (eñe), which is unique to Spanish. The ñ is not an accented n but a completely separate letter that comes between n and o in the alphabet. Spanish also uses accent marks (tildes) on vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú) to indicate stress and distinguish homophones, and the diaeresis (ü) in combinations like 'güe' and 'güi'. The inverted punctuation marks (¿ ¡) are placed at the BEGINNING of questions and exclamations – a feature unique to Spanish.

Perfect for every Spanish typing need: Write emails to Spanish-speaking colleagues, compose documents for Latin American markets, chat with Spanish friends, practice for DELE exams, translate texts, study Spanish literature (Cervantes, García Márquez, Neruda), or connect with the world's second-largest native speaker population. Proper accents and ñ are essential – 'año' (year) vs 'ano' have VERY different meanings!

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Spanish text stays on your device only. When you're done, copy your text with one click, save it as a file, or search directly on Google or YouTube.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Spanish keyboard and who needs one?

An online Spanish keyboard (teclado español) is a virtual keyboard that lets you type Spanish with the letter ñ, accents, and inverted punctuation without installing any software. It's essential for the 559 million Spanish speakers worldwide when using computers without Spanish keyboard support – common outside Hispanic countries. Spanish students, business professionals dealing with Latin American markets, travelers, and the Hispanic diaspora all benefit from instant Spanish typing access.

How do I type the Spanish ñ (eñe) letter?

On our Spanish keyboard, ñ has its own dedicated key, just like on physical Spanish keyboards. It's located next to the L key. The ñ is the 15th most common letter in Spanish and appears in thousands of words including 'año' (year), 'España' (Spain), 'niño' (child), 'señor' (Mr.), and 'mañana' (tomorrow). Remember: ñ is not just 'n with a tilde' – it's a completely separate letter!

How do I type Spanish accented vowels á, é, í, ó, ú?

Use the dead key ´ (acute accent) then type the vowel: ´ + a = á, ´ + e = é, etc. Accents in Spanish indicate stress (which syllable is emphasized) and distinguish homophones: 'si' (if) vs 'sí' (yes), 'el' (the) vs 'él' (he), 'mas' (but) vs 'más' (more). The diaeresis ü (in words like 'pingüino', 'vergüenza') is typed using the dead key ¨.

How do I type inverted question and exclamation marks ¿ ¡?

Spanish is unique in using inverted punctuation at the START of questions (¿) and exclamations (¡). On our keyboard, these have dedicated keys. In Spanish, you write '¿Cómo estás?' and '¡Hola!' – the opening marks tell readers that a question or exclamation is coming, which is especially helpful in long sentences.

Is this Spanish keyboard really free to use?

Absolutely free! AnyKeyboard's Spanish keyboard has no hidden costs, no registration required, no ads, and no usage limits. Type as much Spanish as you want with ñ, all accents, and inverted punctuation. Perfect for Spanish homework, business emails, or staying connected with Spanish-speaking friends and family.

Does the Spanish keyboard work on iPhones, iPads, and Android devices?

Yes! Our Spanish keyboard is fully responsive and works perfectly on all mobile devices – iPhones, iPads, Android phones, and tablets. The touch targets are optimized for finger tapping, and all special characters including ñ and ¿ ¡ are easily accessible. Type Spanish comfortably on any device, anywhere.

How do I copy, save, or search my Spanish text?

Click 'Save' to download your text as a UTF-8 .txt file with all accents and ñ preserved perfectly. You can also click 'Google' or 'YouTube' to search your Spanish text directly.

Is my Spanish typing private and secure?

100% private. All typing happens locally in your browser – your Spanish text is never sent to any server and never stored online. Your text exists only on your device until you close the tab. Only your theme preference and last selected layout are saved locally. Your personal messages remain completely private.

Can I switch between Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish keyboards?

Yes! While the letters are the same, keyboard layouts can vary slightly between regions. AnyKeyboard offers the standard Spain layout and variations. Use the Layout dropdown menu to switch between Spanish keyboards or to Portuguese, French, English, and 100+ other languages instantly.

Can I practice Spanish typing and measure my speed?

Yes! Click 'Speed Test' to switch to typing practice mode. You'll see Spanish sentences to type, and the system measures your words per minute (WPM) and accuracy in real-time. It's an excellent way to get comfortable typing ñ, accents, and inverted punctuation quickly.

Why are Spanish accents important?

Spanish accents change meaning and pronunciation. They indicate which syllable to stress: 'público' (public/audience), 'publico' (I publish), 'publicó' (he/she published) are three different words! Accents also distinguish homophones: 'tú' (you) vs 'tu' (your), 'qué' (what) vs 'que' (that). Missing or wrong accents are considered spelling errors in formal Spanish.

What's the difference between Spanish in Spain vs Latin America?

While mutually intelligible, there are differences. Spain uses 'vosotros' (you plural informal) while Latin America uses 'ustedes'. Pronunciation of 'c/z' differs (Spain: 'th' sound, Latin America: 's' sound). Vocabulary varies too: 'coche/carro' (car), 'ordenador/computadora' (computer). However, the written language and keyboard characters (ñ, accents, ¿¡) are identical across all Spanish-speaking countries.
