This Spanish virtual keyboard mirrors the QWERTY layout of a physical Spanish keyboard. Its 48 character keys reach the 28 letters of the Latin script (U+0041–U+005A, U+0061–U+007A, U+00C0–U+024F) straight from the browser, with no software to install and no system setting to change.
The layout reaches 11 characters that an ordinary Latin keyboard does not carry: ¡ ¨ ª ¬ ´ · º ¿ ç ñ €.
11 further characters come from the AltGr key (Alt on mobile): \ | @ # ~ € ¬ [ ] { }.

How to type in Spanish
Click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard — both write into the same text area.
Shift shows the second layer of every key: capitals and the characters printed at the top right.
AltGr (Alt on mobile) shows the third layer, the characters printed at the bottom right.
The Copy button puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into an email, a document or a form.
The Google, YouTube and ChatGPT buttons run a search with the text you typed, without retyping it.
Key reference table
Each row is one physical key: the base character, the one produced with Shift, then the one produced with AltGr.

Other keyboards in the Latin script
These keyboards are written in the same script and share much of their character set.
The same language is not typed on the same keyboard everywhere. Pick yours in the “Layout” list under the keyboard: the keys, the Shift and AltGr characters and the dead keys change with it, and with “Type with my physical keyboard” on, your own keyboard follows the layout you chose.
España
The layout of Spain: ñ next to L, ç next to Enter, º and ¡ on the top row, and dead keys for ´, ¨, ` and ^. Use this layout
Latinoamérica
The Latin American layout used from Mexico to Argentina: ñ stays in the same place, but ¿ and ¡ are on the top row, @ is on AltGr+Q, and braces and brackets replace ç next to Enter. Use this layout
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I type Spanish accents (á, é, í, ó, ú)?
On this Spanish keyboard, accented vowels are typed with the ´ dead key, to the right of ñ: press ´, then the vowel (´ then a gives á, ´ then e gives é).
How do I type the ñ character?
The ñ is a distinct letter in Spanish, located on its own key on Spanish keyboards, typically to the right of the L key.
How do I type inverted question marks ¿ and exclamation marks ¡?
These are unique to Spanish. ¡ has its own key on the top row, to the right of the ' key, and Shift + that same key gives ¿. Shift+1 gives the regular !.
What's the difference between Spanish (Spain) and Latin American keyboards?
The main difference is the layout: Spain uses QWERTY while some Latin American countries use variants. Symbol positions may also differ slightly.
How do I type the ü (u with dieresis)?
The ü is used in Spanish words like 'pingüino'. It's typically accessed via a dead key (¨) followed by u, or as a direct key combination.
Can I type in Catalan or Galician with this keyboard?
Yes, the Spanish keyboard includes most characters needed for Catalan and Galician: ç has its own key, and grave accents like à are typed with the ` dead key (right of P) followed by the vowel.
How do I type quotation marks « »?
Spanish uses both « » (guillemets) and " ". « and » are not on this keyboard layout: copy them, or type them with your operating system's own shortcuts or special-character input.
What is the º and ª used for?
These are ordinal indicators (masculine º and feminine ª) used in abbreviations like 1º (primero) or 1ª (primera). º is on the first key of the top row, left of 1, and ª is Shift + that key.
How do I type the Euro symbol €?
Press AltGr + E to type the Euro symbol on Spanish keyboards.
Why does Spanish use inverted punctuation?
Inverted ¿ and ¡ at the beginning of questions and exclamations help readers identify sentence type from the start, a unique feature of Spanish orthography.
