Remove Accents / Transliterate

Convert accented and special characters to plain ASCII — café becomes cafe, Straße becomes Strasse, Łódź becomes Lodz. Great for clean slugs, filenames, usernames, and legacy systems that don’t handle Unicode well.

How to use Remove Accents / Transliterate

  1. Paste text with accents or special letters.
  2. Optionally normalize curly quotes and dashes too.
  3. Copy the ASCII-friendly result.

Frequently asked questions

How does it handle letters like ß, æ, or ø?
Beyond stripping combining accents, a transliteration map converts letters that don’t decompose automatically — ß→ss, æ→ae, ø→o, ł→l, and more.
Will it change my actual letters or just the accents?
It removes diacritics and substitutes special letters with ASCII equivalents; ordinary letters and numbers are left untouched.
