Remove Letters From Text does the opposite of a number stripper: it deletes every alphabetic character and keeps the digits, punctuation and whitespace behind. When your goal is to pull the numeric or symbolic core out of a block of mixed content - codes, measurements, prices, coordinates, IDs - removing the letters leaves you with exactly the data you want and none of the words wrapped around it.

The tool removes letters from every script, so it works on English prose and international text alike. What remains are the numbers, punctuation marks and spaces in their original positions, which keeps the structure recognisable. An optional space-tidying step collapses the double spaces that removal can leave, and you get a running count of how many letters were removed along with the change in length.

Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded and no account is required. Paste your text, choose whether to tidy the spacing, and read the letter-free result. Because the processing happens entirely on your own device, confidential records, exports and datasets stay completely private while you extract their numbers.

Features of Remove Letters From Text

  • Removes every alphabetic letter, including accented and non-Latin characters, in one pass.
  • Keeps digits, punctuation, symbols and whitespace exactly where they were.
  • Optional space tidying collapses double spaces and trims trailing whitespace.
  • Isolates numeric and symbolic data from mixed alphanumeric content.
  • Reports how many letters were removed along with the old and new lengths.
  • Handles any size input from a single line to a long export or log file.
  • Runs fully offline in your browser with no sign-up, no upload and no usage limits.

How to use Remove Letters From Text

  1. Paste the mixed text you want to strip into the input box on the left.
  2. Leave Collapse spaces on to tidy the gaps left where letters were removed.
  3. Let the tool remove every letter, keeping numbers and punctuation in place.
  4. Read the letter-free output containing just the digits and symbols.
  5. Check the statistics for how many letters were removed and the new length.
  6. Copy the result or export it as a TXT file for use in a spreadsheet or script.

Benefits of Remove Letters From Text

  • Isolates numbers, codes and measurements from surrounding words instantly.
  • Prepares numeric data for import into spreadsheets or calculators.
  • Strips labels and units so only the values and separators remain.
  • Complements the number remover for splitting alphanumeric content.
  • Keeps confidential records on your device because nothing is uploaded.
  • Avoids writing a custom regex to delete letters by hand.

This tool shines when data and labels are tangled together. Exports and copied tables often mix descriptive words with the figures you actually need, and picking those numbers out by hand is slow and error-prone. Removing the letters in one step leaves a clean line of values and separators that you can drop straight into a spreadsheet column or feed to another tool for further processing.

It pairs naturally with Remove Numbers From Text. Run one to keep only the words and the other to keep only the numbers, and you can cleanly separate any mixed content into its two halves. Because both tools are Unicode-aware and run entirely in your browser, they work on international text and keep even sensitive records private while you reshape them.

Questions about Remove Letters From Text

What exactly gets removed?
Every alphabetic letter is removed, including accented letters and letters from non-Latin scripts. Digits, punctuation, symbols and whitespace are all kept in their original positions.
Does it keep the numbers in place?
Yes. Only letters are deleted, so digits, punctuation and spacing remain exactly where they were. This keeps the structure of the remaining data recognisable.
Can I use it to extract just the numbers?
Yes, removing the letters leaves the digits and separators behind. If you want a clean one-per-line list of numeric values with stats, the Number Extractor is a good companion tool.
Why is there a collapse-spaces option?
Removing a word that stood between spaces can leave a double space. The collapse option tidies those gaps. Turn it off when you need to preserve the exact original spacing.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device. That makes the tool safe for confidential records and datasets.
