Remove Punctuation
Strip all punctuation marks from text, leaving words and numbers.
Punctuation is essential for reading but a nuisance for text processing — natural-language tasks, word clouds, search indexing and data cleaning often need the words alone, stripped of periods, commas, quotes and symbols.
Paste your text and this tool removes all punctuation while keeping letters, numbers and spaces intact, then tidies any doubled spaces left behind. It handles Unicode punctuation too, so smart quotes and em dashes go along with the basic marks. Everything runs locally in your browser.
