Chinese to Pinyin
Online Chinese to Pinyin converter with tone marks, tone numbers, and no-tone modes
What is Chinese to Pinyin?
Chinese to Pinyin is the process of converting Chinese characters into Hanyu Pinyin, the official romanization system of the People''s Republic of China for Standard Mandarin.
This tool supports three tone display modes: tone marks (e.g., mā), tone numbers (e.g., ma1), and no tones (e.g., ma). You can also customize the separator and capitalization to suit different use cases.
'FAQ
Q: Does it support polyphones (characters with multiple readings)?
A: Yes, this tool uses the pinyin-pro library which supports intelligent recognition of polyphones, automatically selecting the correct pronunciation based on context.
Q: What's the difference between tone marks and tone numbers?
A: Tone marks place diacritics directly on vowels (e.g., ā á ǎ à), while tone numbers append digits after the pinyin (e.g., a1 a2 a3 a4). Tone marks are more intuitive; tone numbers are easier to process in some scenarios.
Q: How much text can it handle?
A: There's theoretically no length limit. All conversions happen locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server. However, very long texts may slow down conversion.
