Diacritic Remover and Accent Folder
Remove combining accent marks from Latin text with optional preservation of marks belonging to non-Latin scripts.
Ready. Your working data stays in this browser.
How it works
Characters are decomposed to NFD. Latin combining marks are removed selectively, or every combining mark is removed when that explicit option is chosen, then text is recomposed.
Practical example
Latin-only mode changes Crème brûlée to Creme brulee while leaving combining marks attached to non-Latin letters untouched.
Validation
The calculation is deterministic and explains validation errors instead of silently changing invalid input.
Privacy boundary
Input and output remain in this tab. Copy and download happen through browser APIs without a server upload.
Result passport
Every run reports its tool mode, timestamp and input/output size so transformed data can be audited.
