Remove Punctuation
Strip commas, periods, quotes, and other punctuation marks from a block of text.
Removes commas, periods, quotation marks, dashes, and other punctuation while keeping every letter, number, and space in place — useful for text-analysis workflows (like a word-frequency pass) where punctuation just gets in the way.
Example: "Wait... really?! That's great, I think." becomes "Wait really Thats great I think" — every punctuation mark removed, letters and spacing untouched.
How it works
- Paste text with punctuation
- Every punctuation mark and symbol is removed instantly, on your device

Frequently asked questions
Does this remove currency symbols like $ and €?
Yes — currency signs, math operators, and other symbols are removed along with standard punctuation marks like commas and periods.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — Remove Punctuation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your text is never sent to a server.
Does removing punctuation break contractions, like turning \"don't\" into \"dont\"?
Yes — the apostrophe in a contraction is punctuation too, so \"don't\" becomes \"dont\" the same as any other punctuation mark being stripped.
