Remove Letters From Text

Delete every letter from text, keeping digits, punctuation and spacing so numeric and symbolic data can be isolated.

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

  • 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

  • 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.
