What does this tool do?
Remove Accents strips accents and diacritical marks from your text, converting letters to their plain Latin form: é→e, ü→u, ñ→n, ž→z, and so on. It is a fast helper whenever you need filenames, URLs, usernames, or legacy-system-friendly text that only uses basic characters.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Adjust the options to fit your needs.
- Copy the processed text.
How accents are removed
The tool decomposes each character into its base letter plus combining diacritical marks using Unicode NFD normalization, then deletes only the marks. As a result 'Café résumé naïve Zürich São Paulo' becomes 'Cafe resume naive Zurich Sao Paulo'. Because the base letter is preserved, the output stays readable and meaningful. The process never changes letter case and leaves spaces, punctuation, and other characters completely untouched.
When you need it
Accented letters can break slugs and SEO-friendly URLs, so this tool flattens them to safe ASCII equivalents. It also simplifies preparing text for older databases, barcode systems, or forms that accept only ASCII. Many people use it to keep search and sorting consistent, or to make filenames portable across different operating systems that handle accented characters in incompatible ways.
Frequently asked questions
Does it convert the German ß into 'ss'?
No. ß is a distinct letter, not an accented character, so it is left unchanged. The tool only removes combining diacritical marks and does not perform letter substitutions.
Will it turn ø, ł or đ into plain letters?
Not always. Letters like ø, ł and đ are single Unicode characters without separate combining marks, so they may pass through unchanged. Letters built from a base plus a diacritic, such as é or ñ, are reliably simplified.
Is letter case preserved?
Yes. Only the accents are removed; 'É' becomes 'E' and 'é' becomes 'e'. The uppercase and lowercase layout of your text remains exactly the same.

Yes. Remove Accents and all 300+ tools on MagmaNex are completely free with no signup or account required.
