How to remove numbers from text
- Paste your text into Input. Every number is removed as you type.
- Leave Remove whole numbers on to take decimals, dates and times away completely. Turn it off to remove only the digits and keep the punctuation around them.
- Copy or download the cleaned text. The count of removed digits appears under the boxes.
Common reasons to strip numbers
- Turn usernames like anna1987 or chris2024 into plain names.
- Remove footnote markers and page numbers from text copied out of a PDF, where “results12” should read “results”.
- Clean product names before matching two lists, when one includes size or model numbers and the other doesn’t.
- Get text ready for word counts or analysis where figures shouldn’t count.
Everything happens in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded.
What goes and what stays
Letters, currency signs and line breaks always stay. This is what happens to a few common patterns:

If you only want to remove the numbers from some of the text, use Find and replace with a pattern instead.
