Diacritics are marks added to letters that change pronunciation or meaning — examples include the acute (é), grave (è), circumflex (â), umlaut (ü), caron (š), and tilde (ñ). Languages across Europe rely on diacritics to distinguish words and sounds.
The tool covers 90 characters across multiple Central European languages, including Slovak, Czech, German, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian. It also handles many common Western European accented letters.

No. Text is processed only during a single request and discarded immediately. Nothing is logged or shared with third parties.
In Excel you can chain SUBSTITUTE() calls for every accented character, but it gets tedious. It's usually faster to copy the column into this tool, click "Remove diacritics", and paste the result back.
Not currently — the tool requires an internet connection. The page is very lightweight, however, so it loads quickly even on slow networks.
