Is the cedilla removed too?

Yes. "ç" becomes "c" and "Ç" becomes "C".

Can I undo it afterwards?

Not automatically: the accent information is lost. Keep the original text (for example, in a note) before converting.

Does it work with other languages, like French and Spanish?

Yes. Accents from French, Spanish, German, Italian and other Latin-alphabet languages are removed too. Alphabets such as Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic and Chinese are not converted into Latin letters.

Is the text sent to a server?

No. The conversion happens in your browser and the text is not stored.

What changes in each letter

Acute, grave and circumflex accents: á, à, â, é, ê, í, ó, ô, ú become a, a, a, e, e, i, o, o, u.
Tilde: ã, õ and ñ become a, o and n.
Cedilla: ç becomes c.
Umlaut and diaeresis: ü, ï and ë become u, i and e.
Special letters from other languages: ß becomes ss, æ becomes ae, œ becomes oe, ø becomes o, ł becomes l.
Uppercase and lowercase are kept: "Éclair" becomes "Eclair" and "ÉCLAIR" becomes "ECLAIR".
Numbers, spaces, line breaks and emojis stay as they are, unless you tick the option to remove symbols.

When to remove accents

File and folder names that will be used on old systems or sent through email and messaging apps.
Page addresses and usernames, which work best with unaccented letters only (for addresses, see also the slug generator).
Importing lists into programs and spreadsheets that garble special characters.
Comparing or searching texts without worrying about whether someone typed "cafe" or "café".
Sorting lists and removing duplicates while ignoring accents.

Things to watch for

Removing accents can change the meaning: in Portuguese, "país" and "pais", "avô" and "avo"; in Spanish, "sí" and "si". For text that people will read, keep the accents. Use the removal when the destination requires plain characters, or to compare and search. If the text will be shown to people, review the result.

Some files and systems store the letter and the accent as two separate characters ("combining" accents). The tool removes those too, because it treats the accent as a mark apart from the letter.
