Remove Accents & Diacritics

Convert accented characters to plain ASCII — café becomes cafe, naïve becomes naive.

To remove accents, paste text above and every accented character is decomposed and stripped back to its base ASCII letter. Ligatures and special letters that have no decomposition, such as ß, æ and ø, are mapped explicitly to their conventional ASCII equivalents.

Frequently asked questions

Is removing accents safe for names?

It changes them. "Müller" becoming "Muller" is usually acceptable for a URL slug, but treating the two as the same person in a record system is a real data quality problem — and in German, ü properly transliterates to "ue", not "u".

How does accent removal work technically?

The text is normalised to NFD, which separates a letter from its accent into two code points, and then the combining marks are deleted. That is why é becomes e while ø, which has no separable accent, is unaffected.
