Welcome to the smartest Korean keyboard online (한글 키보드)!

Why do millions of people need an online Korean keyboard? Korean is spoken by 77 million people in South Korea, North Korea, and Korean diaspora communities worldwide. Korean uses Hangul (한글), one of the world's most scientifically designed writing systems. Most computers outside Korea don't have Korean input configured. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for K-pop and K-drama fans learning Korean, business professionals, Korean Americans and Europeans, students, and travelers to Korea.

The Hangul alphabet (한글) was invented in 1443 by King Sejong the Great, making it one of the few alphabets created by a known individual at a specific date. Unlike most writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was scientifically designed to be easy to learn. It consists of 24 basic letters (자모/jamo): 14 consonants (ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂㅅㅇㅈㅊㅋㅌㅍㅎ) and 10 vowels (ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗㅛㅜㅠㅡㅣ). Our keyboard uses the standard 2-Set (두벌식) layout, automatically assembling jamo into syllable blocks as you type.

Perfect for every Korean typing need: Chat on KakaoTalk, write fan messages to K-pop idols, compose Korean emails, practice for TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean), translate K-drama subtitles, study Korean vocabulary, or simply communicate with Korean speakers. Our keyboard handles all syllable combinations including double consonants (쌍자음: ㄲㄸㅃㅆㅉ) and complex final consonants (받침).

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Korean 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, Naver, or YouTube.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an online Korean keyboard and who needs one?

An online Korean keyboard (한글 키보드) is a virtual keyboard that lets you type Hangul characters without installing any software. Our keyboard automatically combines individual letters (jamo) into syllable blocks as you type. It's essential for the 77 million Korean speakers and millions of Korean language learners worldwide when using computers without Korean input – common outside Korea. K-pop fans, K-drama viewers, students, and business professionals all benefit from instant Korean typing access.

How does Hangul syllable composition work?

Korean syllables are built from individual letters (jamo) arranged in blocks. Each block has an initial consonant + vowel, optionally followed by a final consonant (받침). For example: ㄱ + ㅏ = 가 (ga), ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 한 (han). Our keyboard automatically combines jamo as you type – just type the letters in order and watch the syllable form! This is exactly how Korean is typed on all Korean computers.

What is the 2-Set (두벌식) keyboard layout?

The 2-Set layout (두벌식) is the standard Korean keyboard used in South Korea. Consonants are on the left side of the keyboard, and vowels are on the right – making it easy to alternate between hands while typing. It's called '2-Set' because consonants and vowels are in two separate sets. Our virtual keyboard faithfully reproduces this layout, so if you've learned Korean typing, you'll feel right at home.

How do I type double consonants like ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ?

Double consonants (쌍자음/ssang-jaeum) are typed using the Shift key. Hold Shift and press: ㄱ→ㄲ, ㄷ→ㄸ, ㅂ→ㅃ, ㅅ→ㅆ, ㅈ→ㅉ. These represent tense or 'strong' consonant sounds that are important for correct Korean pronunciation and spelling. Words like 빠르다 (fast), 꽃 (flower), and 씨 (seed/Mr./Ms.) use these double consonants.

Is this Korean keyboard really free to use?

Absolutely free! AnyKeyboard's Korean keyboard has no hidden costs, no registration required, no ads, and no usage limits. Type as much Hangul as you want, access all jamo and syllable combinations, and use it whenever you need. Perfect for Korean study sessions and K-pop fan activities!

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

Yes! Our Korean 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 syllable composition works exactly the same. Great for texting in Korean or studying on the go!

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

After typing, click 'Copy' to copy your Korean text to the clipboard – paste it anywhere (KakaoTalk, emails, social media). Click 'Save' to download your text as a UTF-8 .txt file. You can also click 'Google' or 'YouTube' to search your Korean text directly – perfect for finding K-pop lyrics or K-drama clips!

Is my Korean typing private and secure?

100% private. All typing happens locally in your browser – your Korean 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 fan letters and personal messages remain completely private!

Can I switch between Korean and other language keyboards?

Yes! AnyKeyboard supports 100+ languages including Japanese, Chinese, English, and more. Use the Layout dropdown menu to instantly switch between keyboards. Your typed text is preserved when switching. This is perfect for multilingual K-pop fans who communicate in multiple languages.

Can I practice Korean typing and measure my speed?

Yes! Click 'Speed Test' to switch to typing practice mode. You'll see Korean sentences to type, and the system measures your speed and accuracy in real-time. It's an excellent way to memorize the 2-Set layout and improve your Korean typing fluency for chatting with Korean friends.

Why is Hangul considered one of the best writing systems?

Hangul is praised by linguists as one of the most scientific and logical writing systems ever created. King Sejong designed it so that the shapes of consonants represent the position of the mouth when making each sound, and vowels are built from three basic elements (ㅡ, ㅣ, •) representing earth, human, and heaven. The syllable block system makes Korean text compact and readable. UNESCO recognized its brilliance by establishing the King Sejong Literacy Prize.

What is batchim (받침) and how do I type it?

Batchim (받침) is the final consonant at the bottom of a Korean syllable block. Not all syllables have batchim – 가 (ga) doesn't, but 감 (gam) does. Simply type the final consonant after completing the vowel, and our keyboard automatically places it correctly. Korean can have single batchim (ㄱㄴㄹㅁㅂㅅㅇ) or double batchim (ㄳㄵㄺ etc.). The keyboard handles all combinations automatically.
