Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I remove accents from text?
- Paste your text into the box and the tool instantly strips every accent and diacritical mark: é becomes e, ñ becomes n, ü becomes u, ç becomes c. Copy the plain-ASCII result with one click.
- How does accent removal work technically?
- The text is decomposed with Unicode NFD normalization, which splits an accented letter into a base letter plus a separate combining mark, and the combining marks are then removed. Special letters that NFD cannot decompose — like ø, ł, æ, œ, ß, and þ — are handled by an explicit substitution table.
- What happens to letters like ø, æ, and ß?
- These are distinct letters rather than accented ones, so Unicode normalization leaves them alone. The tool maps them explicitly: ø→o, đ→d, ł→l, æ→ae, œ→oe, ß→ss, þ→th, and ð→d, in both uppercase and lowercase.
- When should I remove accents from text?
- For filenames, URL slugs, usernames, database keys, legacy systems that only accept ASCII, and matching or deduplicating names where accents vary between sources. Do not remove accents from an author's name inside a citation — styles like APA and MLA keep original spelling.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the built-in String.normalize API — nothing you paste ever leaves your device.
