What is Accent Remover?
Accent Remover is an extremely useful text sanitization tool for programmers, database analysts and SEO professionals. It takes any block of text you type or paste and automatically replaces the accented letters (like á, ê, ã, í, ó, ü) with their simple unaccented versions (a, e, a, i, o, u).
The tool also replaces 'ç' (cedilha) with 'c', ensuring that the output text only uses characters from the standard alphabet (pure ASCII).
What is the point of removing accents?
- Database (SQL): Avoids encoding problems and bizarre characters (like ) when importing spreadsheets or old data.
- Friendly Slugs and URLs: Essential for creating clean website links that browsers can read correctly without using heavy URL Encoding.
- File Names: When saving images or files, accents often cause broken links on the server.
- Legacy Systems: Some corporate software does not support accentuation when filling out forms.
How to use
Just paste the text into the "Original Text" field. Instantly, without having to click on anything, the field next to it will display the clean, accent-free version, with a quick copy button.
