Keep only letters
Keep only letters is a quick text cleanup tool that strips away everything except alphabetic characters. Paste any text — a sentence, a paragraph, a data export, a code snippet — and the tool removes numbers, punctuation, symbols, special characters and emojis, leaving only the letters and optionally the spaces. Useful for cleaning messy data, extracting meaningful text from code-heavy content, or preparing text for analysis.
The tool lets you choose whether to preserve spaces between words. By default, spaces are kept so the output reads naturally; turn off the option to get a continuous string of letters only. Line breaks are treated as whitespace and handled the same way. Everything runs in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
Perfect for extracting alphabetic content from mixed datasets, cleaning user input before processing, or filtering out noise from text that mixes letters with numbers and symbols. Works with all Unicode letters globally, preserving diacritics and characters from any language. The live tally shows the character count before and after, plus how many characters were removed, giving you instant feedback. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send it to another tool to continue your workflow.
