Type Korean from a keyboard that shows the Hangul letters on screen (한국어 키보드). There is nothing to install or sign up for. Click the letters with your mouse, type on your own physical keyboard, or tap them on your phone, and the page joins the letters into finished syllable blocks for you.
Two ways to type
Don't know the Korean layout? Click the on-screen keys with your mouse or finger. On a computer you can also type on your own keyboard using the standard 2-Beolsik (두벌식) mapping, and press Esc to switch that mapping on or off (the tooltip shows "ON / OFF (Escape)"). On a phone or tablet, tap "Load Keyboard" and type on the screen, with no need to change your device's own keyboard. Backspace, Enter, and the space bar work the way you'd expect.
How Hangul builds syllable blocks
Korean is written in blocks, not in a straight line of letters. Each block starts with a consonant, then a vowel, and sometimes ends in a final consonant called a 받침 (batchim). Type ㅎ, then ㅏ, then ㄴ and the page stacks them into 한. Begin the next sound and it treats the block as finished and starts a new one, so you type the letters in order and watch the syllables form.
The 2-Beolsik layout and the Shift keys
On the default 2-Beolsik layout the consonants sit on the left half (ㅂ ㅈ ㄷ ㄱ ㅅ, then ㅁ ㄴ ㅇ ㄹ ㅎ) and the vowels on the right (ㅛ ㅕ ㅑ ㅐ ㅔ, then ㅗ ㅓ ㅏ ㅣ). Hold Shift for the five tense consonants ㅃ, ㅉ, ㄸ, ㄲ and ㅆ, and for the wider vowels ㅒ and ㅖ. The number row and punctuation stay where they are on an ordinary keyboard.
Other layouts
Prefer a different arrangement? The menu also offers 3-Beolsik (세벌식), which gives initial consonants, vowels, and final consonants their own keys for faster touch typing. Pick either layout and the keys change straight away; clicking the screen and typing on your physical keyboard both keep working.
Copy it, translate it, send it
When your text is ready, hit Copy (or Ctrl+C / Cmd+C) and paste it anywhere: KakaoTalk, a document, a search box. Undo, Redo, and Clear are in the same toolbar. From this page you can also translate what you wrote, search Google in Korean, look it up on Wikipedia, or send it straight as an email, without leaving the keyboard.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Korean keyboard free?
Yes, completely. No installation, sign-up, or download. Open the page and start typing in Korean right away.
Can I use this Korean keyboard on my phone (iPhone or Android)?
Yes. Tap "Load Keyboard" and use the on-screen keys, or set your phone's own keyboard to Korean and type into the page. The Copy button works on mobile too.
Do I need to install a Korean keyboard on Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android?
Not for this page; it works in your browser. To type Korean system-wide in every app: Windows → Settings → Time & Language → Language; macOS → System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources; iOS → Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards; Android → Settings → System → Languages & input.
How do I type double consonants like ㄲ or ㅆ?
Hold Shift and press the matching consonant key. Shift turns ㄱ into ㄲ, ㅂ into ㅃ, ㄷ into ㄸ, ㅈ into ㅉ, and ㅅ into ㅆ, and it also gives the wider vowels ㅒ and ㅖ.
Can I type Korean by spelling words in English letters?
Not on this page. It uses the real Hangul layout, so you choose the actual jamo letters instead of spelling sounds in Latin script. That keeps your Korean exact, with no guessing about which word you meant.
