Remove accents
Paste your text and instantly get a version without accented letters: é becomes e, à becomes a, ü becomes u. The conversion happens as you type.
Where accented letters cause trouble
Plenty of digital systems handle accents poorly: URLs and domain names turn them into unreadable escape codes, some business software and banking forms reject them outright, file names containing accents can get garbled when moving between operating systems, and airline tickets or international documents require plain characters (that's why "Muñoz" shows up as "Munoz" on a boarding pass). Converting your text before pasting it prevents errors and mangled characters like "é" appearing where an "é" should be.
How the conversion works (Unicode NFD)
Under the Unicode standard, every accented letter can be decomposed into two parts: the base letter and the diacritical mark that goes with it ("é" = "e" + acute accent). This tool applies exactly that decomposition, called NFD normalization, and then strips the diacritical marks, leaving only the base letters. The result works with French and Spanish accents but also with German umlauts (ü → u), Spanish tildes (ñ → n), French cedillas (ç → c), and ligatures such as œ → oe.
