  3. Review the Top Accented Characters card and live stats for accent frequency.
  4. Copy normalized text for the Slug Generator, databases, or search indexing workflows.

Common Use Cases

Languages Supported

Latin-script languages with diacritics are supported via Unicode normalization. This is not translation — meaning stays the same.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this translation?

No. Only accent marks and diacritics are removed. Words stay in the same language — crème becomes creme, not a different word.

What about German ß?

The eszett ß is converted to ss — for example, Straße becomes Strasse.

Are emoji affected?

No. Emoji pass through unchanged during accent normalization.

Can accents be restored?

No. Diacritic information is lost during normalization. Keep an original copy before processing.

Do numbers stay unchanged?

Yes, when keep numbers is enabled (default). Disable it to strip digits in slug or ASCII modes.

Can I create SEO slugs?

Yes. Enable slug-friendly text or use the Slug Generator after normalization.

Does this work for Romanian?

Yes. Comma-below characters like ș, ț, and circumflex letters in Romanian are supported.

Are ligatures like æ and œ converted?

Yes. Ligatures expand to two letters — æ → ae, œ → oe — and German ß becomes ss.

What about Polish letters?

Polish diacritics including ł, ś, ź, and ż are normalized to base Latin letters.

Does this remove Turkish dotted İ?

Yes. Turkish dotted capital İ normalizes to I, and characters like ş and ğ strip to their base letters — for example, İstanbul → Istanbul.

Can I use this before creating URL slugs?

Yes. Remove accents first, then paste the output into the Slug Generator or enable slug-friendly mode for hyphenated ASCII slugs.

Will filenames become safer?

Yes. Filename-safe mode strips invalid path characters and replaces spaces with hyphens.

Are URLs affected?

Only if you process URL text directly. Use slug-friendly mode for permalink paths, not full URLs with protocols.

Is my text uploaded?

No. All accent normalization runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
