Paste text below and every accent and diacritic is folded to plain ASCII: café becomes cafe, naïve becomes naive, Zürich becomes Zurich. Letters keep their base form and nothing is uploaded.
Acute, grave, circumflex, umlaut, tilde, cedilla and more are removed, leaving the base letter: é becomes e, ñ becomes n, ç becomes c.
Common ligatures are spelled out where it helps: æ becomes ae, œ becomes oe, ß becomes ss.
Digits, punctuation and unaccented letters are untouched, so the text stays readable.
Download this exact setup as a ready-made Accent remover profile. Give it a global hotkey in the Windows app and any text you copy loses its accents the instant you paste. Same engine as above, entirely offline.
Paste the text above and accents are stripped instantly, turning café into cafe and naïve into naive. Copy the result, or save it as a profile for the Windows app.
In everyday use they mean the same thing. A diacritic is a mark added to a letter, such as the acute in é or the tilde in ñ, and accent is the common word for it. This tool removes them all.
Only by dropping the mark. Each accented letter becomes its base form (ü becomes u), so the word stays readable, and ligatures like æ are expanded to ae so nothing is lost.
