About the Remove Numbers

Sometimes you need the words without the numbers: list items with numbering, product names with model codes, or transcripts full of timestamps. This tool deletes every digit from 0 to 9, including digits from other writing systems.

Removing a number from the middle of a sentence usually leaves a double space behind. With Tidy up leftover spaces ticked, those gaps are collapsed and each line is trimmed. Punctuation that was attached to the numbers, such as a decimal point or a currency sign, is left in place so you can decide what to do with it.

How to use it

  1. Paste your text into the input box.
  2. Keep Tidy up leftover spaces ticked for a cleaner result.
  3. Click Remove Numbers, then copy the result.
