What Is Wingdings?

Wingdings is a set of fonts that turns letters into symbols. It was created by Microsoft in the 1990s and has been popular ever since. Instead of showing letters like “A” or “B”, Wingdings replaces them with symbols like arrows, hearts, and other icons — a creative way to make text look different.

There are three main types of Wingdings

  • Wingdings 1

    The original version with basic symbols like arrows, stars, and everyday shapes.

  • Wingdings 2

    Adds more arrows, hands, and shapes for even more variety.

  • Wingdings 3

    Includes different kinds of lines and arrows to make your text even more unique.

Wingdings is not only fun but can also be used in designs, puzzles, and secret codes. This translator also supports Webdings for even more icon options.

How to Use the Wingdings Translator

It’s really simple to use. Just follow these steps:

  1. Enter your text — Type or paste the text you want to change into the input box.
  2. Choose a font & mode — Pick Wingdings 1–3, Webdings, or Gaster mode, then select Text → Symbols or Symbols → Text.
  3. Watch it convert — Your text turns into symbols in real time — no convert button to press.
  4. Copy and paste — Use Copy, then paste the symbols into messages, social posts, or documents.
  5. Decode anytime — Switch to Symbols → Text (or tap Swap) to turn Wingdings back into normal letters.

Our tool works with Wingdings 1, Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3, and Webdings — plenty of symbol options.

Unicode & Compatibility

This translator outputs Unicode symbols so they can appear across devices, browsers, and platforms without installing the classic Wingdings font file.

If some characters don’t display properly, the app may not fully support those Unicode glyphs. Try a modern browser like Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — or decode back to plain text when readability matters more than style.
