How to use Remove All Punctuation
- 1. Paste the punctuated text. Paste a sentence or paragraph into the input pane, including any commas, periods, question marks and other punctuation you want stripped out.
- 2. Decide whether symbols count too. Turn on Also remove symbols (+ = $ ...) to strip mathematical and currency symbols along with standard punctuation, or leave it off to keep only punctuation marks removed.
- 3. Copy the plain text. Copy the resulting text, now free of punctuation, and paste it wherever a plain word stream without marks is needed, such as a word-frequency count.
When to use Remove All Punctuation
Remove All Punctuation deletes dots, commas, and other punctuation marks from a passage. Use Remove All Punctuation whenever an analysis step, search index or comparison needs raw words without the marks that usually surround them.
- Preparing text for word frequency analysis. Before counting how often each word appears in a document, stripping punctuation ensures 'word,' and 'word' aren't counted as two different tokens by the analysis script.
- Cleaning text for a search index. A simple search feature works better matching plain words, so removing periods, commas and quotation marks first avoids punctuation interfering with substring matches.
- Stripping quotes and symbols from a scraped quote. A quote pulled from a webpage has stray currency symbols and punctuation mixed in, and clearing all of it out leaves just the readable words behind.

About the Remove All Punctuation tool
Remove All Punctuation is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Delete dots, commas, and other punctuation from the text. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.

You can shape the output with the Also remove symbols (+ = $ …) setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
