Frequently asked questions
What does removing accents do?
It strips diacritical marks and maps special letters to their closest ASCII equivalent, so accented words become plain unaccented text.
How are letters like the sharp s handled?
Letters that have no plain base form are transliterated. The sharp s becomes ss, ae and oe ligatures expand, and stroked letters like ø and ł become o and l.
Does it change spaces, punctuation or numbers?
No. Only accented letters are changed. Spaces, punctuation, digits, plain ASCII and emoji all pass through exactly as you entered them.
Is this good for making URL slugs or filenames?
Yes. Removing accents first gives you safe ASCII text, which you can then lowercase and slugify for clean URLs and filenames.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you paste is uploaded.
