How do you remove diacritics from text?
A remove diacritics tool converts accented letters to their plain Latin form — café becomes cafe and naïve becomes naive. Snabbit decomposes each character with Unicode normalisation and drops the combining accent marks, keeping the base letters. It runs entirely in your browser, so the text you convert is processed locally and never sent anywhere.
How to use the Remove Diacritics
- 1 Paste your accented text into the input box.
- 2 Accents and diacritical marks are stripped automatically.
- 3 The base Latin letters remain (é → e, ñ → n).
- 4 Copy the plain text.
What you can use it for
- Normalising names for search and matching.
- Preparing text for ASCII-only systems.
- Cleaning imported data with mixed accents.
- Generating plain text before slugifying.
Frequently asked questions
How does it strip the accents?
Each character is decomposed with Unicode NFD normalisation, which separates a letter from its accent, then the combining accent marks are removed.
Does ß or ø get converted?
Characters that have no decomposed accent form, like ß or ø, are kept as-is, since they are distinct letters rather than accented ones.
Is this the same as making a URL slug?
It is the accent-stripping step of a slug. For a full URL-safe slug with hyphens, use the slugify tool.
