Remove Accents Online

Updated 2026-07-09

Remove accents and diacritics from text online for free. Paste accented text and SnapTools folds each character to its closest plain ASCII letter — café becomes cafe, résumé becomes resume — instantly, in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.

Accented characters break systems that expect plain ASCII: file names, URL slugs, usernames, and some database keys. This tool normalises them in one step, stripping diacritics while leaving unaccented letters, digits, and punctuation untouched. It is also handy for making names searchable regardless of how the accents were typed.

// how to use

1 Type or paste accented text into the input panel on the left.
2 SnapTools folds each accented character to its closest plain ASCII letter as you type.
3 Read the result on the right, then copy or download it.

// faq

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your machine.

It strips diacritical marks — accents, umlauts, tildes, cedillas, and similar — folding characters like é, ü, ñ, and ç to their base letters e, u, n, and c.

No. Unaccented letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation pass through unchanged. Only characters carrying a diacritic are simplified.

Common special letters are mapped to sensible ASCII equivalents where one exists. The goal is a readable, ASCII-safe version rather than a perfect linguistic transliteration.

Creating ASCII-safe file names, slugs, usernames, or database keys, and normalising names for search and matching where accents should not affect the result.
