Remove Accents and Diacritics
Strip accents and special marks from text: é → e, ü → u, ç → c, ß → ss.
Avoid problems with special characters
Some systems, legacy software, bank forms, file servers and email addresses don't accept accented characters or display them incorrectly. Remove Accents converts text so that it uses only basic Latin letters.
Conversion examples
- é → e, è → e, ê → e
- ñ → n, ü → u, ç → c
- ß → ss, ø → o, æ → ae, ł → l
- Turkish letters such as ğ, ş and ı are converted too
Use cases
Ideal for file and folder names, web addresses, usernames, SMS messages (to reduce character costs) and data imports that expect ASCII. Letter case is preserved and processing happens in your browser.

FAQ
Does it change letter case?
No. Only the accents are removed; É becomes E and é becomes e.
Can I use it to create URL slugs?
You can, but the Slug Generator is better suited because it also lowercases and adds hyphens.
Why are accented characters a problem in SMS?
Many special characters switch an SMS to Unicode mode, which can cut the limit per message from 160 to 70 characters.
