Remove Accents
Strip accents and diacritics from text (é → e, ș → s). Runs in your browser.
Accents and diacritics can break URLs, filenames, usernames and systems that expect plain ASCII. Remove Accents converts letters like é, ș and ü to their plain equivalents (e, s, u) while leaving the rest of the text intact.
How to use remove accents
- 1. Paste text containing accented characters.
- 2. Accents and diacritics are stripped to plain letters.
- 3. Copy the ASCII-friendly text.
When to use Remove Accents
Clean data for old systems
Convert names or values to plain letters for systems that don't handle accents.
Build a safe filename or slug
Strip diacritics before turning a title into a filename or URL slug.
Normalise text
Get a consistent ASCII version of accented content.
Beyond simple accents
Accented letters are reduced to their base letter (é → e, ü → u), including Romanian ă, â, î, ș and ț in both the correct comma-below form and the older cedilla form (ş, ţ). Letters that aren't an accent on top of another letter are spelled out: ß → ss, æ → ae, œ → oe, ø → o, ł → l, đ → d, þ → th, so "Łódź" becomes "Lodz" and "Straße" becomes "Strasse". Other alphabets, such as Cyrillic or Greek, are left as they are — this isn't transliteration.
Keep them where meaning depends on them
In Romanian, diacritics change meaning: "peste" (over) and "pește" (fish), "fata" (the girl) and "fată" (a girl). Remove them for filenames, usernames and systems that can't store them, but keep them in documents people will read.
