Fold Latin accents into plain letters

Paste text to replace accented Latin letters with their base forms: café becomes cafe, naïve becomes naive. Ligatures such as fi are expanded. Non-Latin scripts are left unchanged because folding them would destroy meaning. Use this for search keys or file names, not for names that should keep their accents.

How to use this workbench

  1. Paste your text or load the example.
  2. Choose any options that apply to your task.
  3. Read the result, then copy it or download a text file. Your input stays available until you clear it or leave the page.

Frequently asked questions

Does my text leave my browser?

No. Processing happens in a local browser worker. The tool makes no request containing your draft.

Can I upload a document?

Use Import .txt to read a UTF-8 plain-text file locally. Word documents and PDFs are not supported. Copy their text into the input instead. Each field accepts up to 200,000 characters.

Will the result replace my original?

No transformation automatically overwrites your input. Check the output before copying it. Grammar and spelling suggestions change the input only when you choose to apply them.
