Paste your text and generate pinyin-annotated content in one click — with polyphonic character correction, simplified/traditional conversion, and print-ready export.
A fast, free tool for adding pinyin to Chinese text
What is pinyin annotation?
Pinyin annotation places each character's pronunciation above it, and is widely used in Chinese learning, children's books, picture books, and teaching materials. This tool automatically converts large blocks of Chinese text into annotated pinyin format, so you never have to look up each character by hand.
Key features
- Smart annotation: automatically detects context to handle polyphonic characters accurately.
- Polyphonic correction: click any underlined character to pick the correct reading.
- Simplified/traditional conversion: convert between scripts before annotating.
- Custom formatting: adjust pinyin color, size, and font, or hide tone marks.
- Batch export: save the result as HTML, Word, or PDF for easy printing.
Want to turn it into a finished book?
The tool above does one job: putting pinyin onto text. If what you want is a book you can actually print and bind, continue in Picture Book Studio: write your own story, upload your own illustrations, choose a layout (text on its own page, text over the illustration, or a split page) and export a real multi-page PDF. It also runs entirely in your browser — your text and images are never uploaded.
