Remove accents
Paste accented text and get back the same words written with plain letters: á becomes a, č becomes c, ž becomes z. Slovak, Czech, Polish, German, French, Spanish and other Latin-script languages are all handled, because the tool decomposes each character and drops the accent marks rather than relying on a fixed list of substitutions.
This is the everyday fix for systems that choke on diacritics. Use it when preparing URL slugs and file names, filling in forms that reject accented characters, cleaning data before import into a legacy database, generating usernames or email addresses, or making a list sortable and searchable in tools that treat "Žilina" and "Zilina" as unrelated words.
Some letters carry no separate accent mark and cannot simply be stripped — they need to be spelled out. With "Expand ligatures" enabled, æ becomes ae, œ becomes oe, ß becomes ss, ø becomes o, đ becomes d, ł becomes l and þ becomes th, with capitalisation preserved so Æ turns into AE. Turn the option off to leave those letters untouched while still removing ordinary accents. Everything that is not an accented letter — emoji, punctuation, symbols, numbers, line breaks — passes through exactly as it was, and the tally under the output tells you how many accents were removed.
