About Diacritics Remover

Diacritics Remover decomposes text, drops the combining marks, and maps a set of letters that have no plain decomposition, so the eszett becomes ss, ae-ligature becomes ae, and slashed o becomes o.

Scripts that are not Latin, such as Japanese or Arabic, pass through unchanged. It runs in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Paste text with accents into the input box.
  2. Choose whether to transliterate special letters or only fold combining marks.
  3. Copy the ASCII output.

Common questions

What is the difference between the two modes?

Fold marks only removes accents but keeps letters like the eszett and ligatures. Transliterate special letters also rewrites those to an ASCII equivalent.

Does it handle non-Latin text?

It leaves it as is. The tool is aimed at Latin-script text where an ASCII form is needed.

Is the transliteration a standard one?

It follows common conventions, close to what many slug libraries do, but transliteration varies by language so check names and places that matter.

Is my text uploaded?

No. It is transformed in your browser.
