From “déçu” to “decu” in one paste
File names, URLs, logins, airline forms: many systems still reject accented characters. This tool strips all diacritics from all Latin-based languages — accents, cedillas, umlauts, tildes, ogoneks — relying on Unicode decomposition, not on a fragile replacement list.
-
Paste the accented text
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Vietnamese… everything works.
-
Decide the fate of ligatures
œ, æ, ß, ø, ł are not accents: a dedicated checkbox converts them (on by default).

Copy the result
The counter tells you how many characters changed.
What gets converted
| Category | Examples | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Accents | é è ê ë á ñ õ ů | e e e e a n o u |
| Cedillas and hooks | ç ş ą ę | c s a e |
| Ligatures (option) | œ æ ß | oe ae ss |
| Stroked letters (option) | ø ł đ | o l d |
Case is preserved (“É” → “E”) and only affected characters change: digits, punctuation and spaces stay intact. Everything happens in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
When do you need to remove accents?
To create portable file names and URLs, technical identifiers (logins, slugs, codes), to fill in forms that reject special characters (plane tickets, banks), or to prepare data for legacy systems limited to ASCII.
How does the removal work?
Through Unicode NFD decomposition: “é” becomes “e” + a combining accent, then the accent is stripped. This standard method covers all Latin-based languages at once — French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Vietnamese…
Why a separate option for œ, æ and ß?
These characters are not accented letters but ligatures or letters in their own right: Unicode does not decompose them. A dedicated table converts them (œ → oe, æ → ae, ß → ss, ø → o, ł → l), toggleable as needed.
Are capitals and punctuation preserved?
Yes: only the diacritics disappear. “É” becomes “E”, spaces, digits and punctuation marks stay unchanged, and the counter shows how many characters were modified.
