Remove Punctuation
Remove Punctuation exists to do one job well: keep words and spaces while removing punctuation. All counting, matching and rewriting happens in JavaScript on the page itself, so even long confidential drafts stay in your browser. It is used most by writers and editors cleaning up a draft before submission. Line endings from Windows, macOS and Linux are all understood. Free, unlimited, and free of the upsells most tools of this kind carry.

Frequently asked questions
- How much text can I paste in? — Tens of thousands of words is comfortable. The only real limit is how much your browser will hold.
- Is my text stored when I use Remove Punctuation? — No. Remove Punctuation processes the text in the page itself. Nothing is transmitted or saved, which matters for unpublished or confidential writing.
- Will formatting be kept? — No. Pasted content is treated as plain text, so bold, colours and links are dropped.
- Does it handle languages other than English? — Yes — full Unicode support, so Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, accented Latin and emoji are all handled properly.
