Welcome to the most comprehensive Punjabi keyboard online (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕੀਬੋਰਡ)! Our free virtual Gurmukhi keyboard gives you instant access to all Punjabi letters, vowel signs (matras), and special characters like addak (ੱ), tippi (ੰ), and bindi (ਂ), allowing you to type perfect Punjabi from any computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Why do 125+ million people need an online Punjabi keyboard? Punjabi is the 10th most spoken language in the world with 125 million speakers. It's the official language of Punjab (India) and widely spoken in Pakistan's Punjab province. The Punjabi diaspora is one of the largest in the world, with major communities in Canada (especially BC and Ontario), UK (especially Southall/London), USA, and Australia. Most computers outside Punjab don't have Gurmukhi keyboards installed. Our virtual keyboard provides instant access – perfect for Punjabi expats, Sikh community members, students, and anyone connecting with Punjab.

The Gurmukhi script (ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ, meaning 'from the Guru's mouth') was standardized by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Sikh Guru, in the 16th century. It's used for writing Punjabi in India and is the script of the Sikh holy scripture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Gurmukhi has 35 letters plus special characters: addak (ੱ) for gemination, tippi (ੰ) and bindi (ਂ) for nasalization. Our keyboard uses the official InScript layout.

Perfect for every Punjabi typing need: Write emails to family in Punjab, compose Gurbani text, chat with Punjabi friends, study Punjabi literature (Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah, Amrita Pritam), read and write Sikh scripture, practice for Punjabi exams, or simply connect with the vibrant Punjabi community worldwide. Punjabi is famous for its poetry, music (Bhangra!), and rich cultural heritage.

Your privacy is guaranteed – all typing happens 100% locally in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to any server. Your Punjabi 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 Punjabi keyboard and who needs one?

An online Punjabi keyboard (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕੀਬੋਰਡ) is a virtual Gurmukhi keyboard that lets you type in Punjabi without installing any software. It's essential for the 125+ million Punjabi speakers, especially the huge diaspora in Canada, UK, USA, and Australia. Sikh community members, students, and anyone communicating with Punjab benefit from instant Punjabi typing access.

What is Gurmukhi script and how is it connected to Sikhism?

Gurmukhi (ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ) means 'from the Guru's mouth.' It was standardized by Guru Angad Dev Ji in the 16th century for writing Punjabi. The entire Sri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh holy scripture) is written in Gurmukhi. This makes Gurmukhi deeply significant to Sikhs worldwide. Our keyboard helps you type Gurbani and connect with this sacred tradition.

What are addak, tippi, and bindi in Punjabi?

These are special marks in Gurmukhi: Addak (ੱ) doubles the following consonant (like 'pp' in 'happy'). Tippi (ੰ) and Bindi (ਂ) indicate nasalization – tippi appears above short vowels, bindi above long vowels. For example: ਸੰਤ (sant), ਕੰਮ (kamm). Our keyboard has dedicated keys for all these marks.
