Accents and non-Latin characters break URLs, filenames and search, turning a clean name into something a system cannot index.
Paste the text here and flatten it to plain Latin; a toggle lets you strip accent marks entirely or keep the base letters.
How to use Latin Transliteration
- Paste accented or mixed text into the left panel.
- Use the Remove diacritics toggle to strip accent marks or keep base letters.
- Copy the plain Latin output from the right panel.
Use cases
- Make clean URL slugs from accented titles.
- Create safe filenames without accent marks.
- Normalize names for search and matching.
Good to know
Accents are stored as combining marks once text is split with NFD normalization, which is how this tool removes them while keeping the base letter. Not every script maps perfectly to Latin, so review unusual characters.
Frequently asked questions
What does Remove diacritics do?
With it on, accent marks are stripped so e-acute becomes e. With it off, base letters are kept and combining marks are left in place.
How does it remove accents technically?
It splits letters from their accents using NFD normalization, then drops the combining marks, leaving the base letter.
Does it handle non-Latin scripts?
It maps common cases to Latin, but scripts vary, so some characters may pass through unchanged and need review.
