Our free Remove Letter Accents tool strips diacritical marks such as acute (´), grave (`), circumflex (^), tilde (~), diaeresis/umlaut (¨), cedilla (ç) and more from accented letters, turning them into plain Latin characters. Whatever you enter stays on your device - nothing is transmitted to, or stored on, any server.

The tool handles a wide range of accented letters (á à â ã ä å ç ñ é è ê ë í ó õ ö ú ü and many more) and preserves letter case, numbers, punctuation and line breaks exactly as you entered them.

For example, the input á la française becomes a la francaise.

1. Enter your text: Type or paste it into the Input textarea, click "Load an example", or upload a text file from your device.

2. Remove the accents: Click the "Remove Accents" button. The plain version appears in the Output textarea.

3. Check the result: Read the message below the buttons to see how many accents were removed from your text.

4. Save the result: Use the "Copy Result" button or the Download link to keep the cleaned text.

Use the Remove Letter Accents tool whenever you need text without diacritical marks, for example to:

1. Build ASCII-safe URLs and slugs: Search engines, systems and databases sometimes prefer plain characters, so "señal" becomes "senal" before you turn it into a URL.

2. Normalize data: Remove accents from names, addresses or product fields so that searching, sorting and comparing data works consistently.

3. Work across languages: Convert French, Spanish, German, Polish and other accented text into a plain form that fits forms, spreadsheets and legacy systems.

4. Prepare test data: Generate plain-ASCII strings for testing software, scripts or validation rules.

In essence, this tool does the accent removal for you in one click, saving you time and typos.

FAQ 1: What does this tool do?
Answer: It removes accents and diacritical marks from letters and converts them to their plain Latin equivalents. For example, "café" becomes "cafe" and "ñ" becomes "n".

FAQ 2: Which characters does it handle?
Answer: It removes common accents (acute, grave, circumflex, tilde, diaeresis/umlaut, cedilla and more) from letters, and also converts special letters such as ø (→ o), æ (→ ae), ß (→ ss), ð (→ d) and &lslash; (→ l).

FAQ 3: Is my text sent to a server?
Answer: No. The accent removal happens entirely in your browser on your own device, and nothing you enter is transmitted to, or stored on, any server.

FAQ 4: Does it change numbers, punctuation or letter case?
Answer: No. Only accents on letters are removed. Letter case, numbers, punctuation, spaces and line breaks stay exactly as you entered them, so "ÉLAN" becomes "ELAN", not "elan".

FAQ 5: Can I process a whole file?
Answer: Yes. Use the "Upload a file" option to load a plain text file into the Input textarea, remove the accents, and then download the result using the Download link.

FAQ 6: What happens if my text has no accents?
Answer: The Output will be identical to the Input, and the result message will tell you that no accents were found in the text.
