Remove Diacritics from Text Online Free
Strip accent marks from letters — café → cafe, naïve → naive.
Uses Unicode NFD normalization to decompose accented characters, then removes the combining marks (café → cafe, naïve → naive, über → uber).
What is Remove Diacritics?
Strips diacritical marks (accent marks) from all characters — converting accented letters to their base ASCII equivalents. Works with all Latin diacritics: acute, grave, circumflex, tilde, umlaut, cedilla, and more.
Common Use Cases
Normalising names for databases that do not support Unicode, creating URL-friendly slugs, making text ASCII-safe, sorting multilingual word lists, and cleaning imported data.
How It Works
Uses Unicode normalisation form NFD (decomposed), which separates base letters from their combining diacritical marks, then removes all combining characters using /\p{Mn}/gu regex.
