Tools
Add Pinyin to Chinese Text
Paste a Chinese text and print it with pinyin above each character. Show pinyin only above your class's HSK level, fix any reading, and put several texts on one handout.
What HSK Level Am I?
A free, adaptive HSK level test for your characters. Up to 35 characters, about three minutes, every answer checked. See how you did at each HSK 3.0 level and get your estimated level.
Simplified to Traditional Converter
Convert Chinese either way, with Taiwan and Hong Kong as separate targets. Every character that had more than one traditional form is marked, explained, and yours to change.
Chinese Quiz Generator
Build a printable Chinese character test part by part, choosing what each character is tested on. Six question types, an answer key, and an A/B version so neighbours cannot copy.
Online Chinese Keyboard
Type pinyin and get Chinese characters, with nothing to install. Ranked so the character a learner wants comes first, and it reads Chinese back as pinyin too.
Chinese Name Generator
Enter your name and get real Chinese names: a family name matched to the sound of yours, given-name characters chosen for meaning, every character explained.
Chinese Text Difficulty Checker
Paste any Chinese text to see its HSK level, how much of it you can already read, and the exact characters standing between you and the rest.
Character Worksheet Generator
Build printable stroke-order worksheets from any HSK 3.0 characters: numbered stroke steps, tracing squares, and blank practice grids. Print or save as PDF.
Printable Chinese Writing Paper
Free tian zi ge, mi zi ge and pinyin writing paper as ready-to-print PDFs. Each in 20, 15 and 10 mm squares on A4 and US Letter, or make your own.
