Remove Accents & Diacritics
Convert accented characters to plain ASCII (café → cafe).
Accented characters are correct in prose but troublesome in URLs, filenames, database keys and legacy systems that expect plain ASCII. Turning café into cafe, or Zürich into Zurich, is a routine cleaning step for slugs, exports and imports.
Paste your text and this tool transliterates accented letters to their closest ASCII equivalents by stripping the combining diacritical marks, while leaving unaccented characters untouched. It runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
