Remove Cyrillic letters from text

Paste your text and every Cyrillic letter is stripped out instantly — Latin letters, digits, punctuation, spaces and any other characters stay exactly where they were. Useful for pulling stray Russian words, comments or annotations out of otherwise Latin-script text.

Letters removed

This page has no server side at all. The table you paste is parsed by JavaScript inside your own browser, the chart is drawn on a canvas element on your machine, and the export file is assembled locally. Nothing is uploaded, stored or written to any log. You can disconnect from the network after the page has loaded and everything will still work — which is the simplest way to verify the claim yourself.

Facts and limits of this method

Removed Cyrillic letters а-яёА-ЯЁ — the Russian alphabet range specifically
Kept Latin letters, digits 0-9, punctuation, spaces and any other characters
Non-Russian Cyrillic і, ї, ў, ґ and similar are outside а-яёА-ЯЁ — not removed
Accented Latin The entire a-zA-Z range plus accented letters like é, ñ are untouched
Case sensitivity Both uppercase and lowercase Cyrillic letters are removed equally
Processing Runs locally in the browser, nothing is sent to a server

When it misleads you

How it is calculated

The tool runs a single regular expression, /[а-яёА-ЯЁ]/g, over the text and replaces every match with nothing. It scans the text once, character by character.

The pattern matches the Russian Cyrillic alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase, plus ё/Ё specifically — 33 letters in each case, 66 in total.

Everything outside that range — Latin letters (accented or not), digits, punctuation, spaces, line breaks, emoji, non-Russian Cyrillic letters — passes through unchanged, in its original position.

"Letters removed" is the difference between the original text length and the result length, since every removed character is exactly one Cyrillic letter.

Questions and answers

Does it remove Ukrainian or Belarusian letters too?

No. Only the Russian alphabet range а-яёА-ЯЁ is removed. Letters like і, ї, є or ў are outside that range and stay in the text.

What happens to accented Latin letters?

Nothing — this tool never touches Latin letters at all, accented or not. Only Cyrillic in the Russian range is removed.

Can I use this to clean Russian comments out of code or logs?

Yes, for comments written purely in Russian Cyrillic. Latin letters, digits, punctuation and symbols used in code syntax stay exactly where they are.

Are digits or punctuation affected?

No, only Cyrillic letters а-яёА-ЯЁ are removed. Digits 0-9, Latin letters, punctuation and spaces are left exactly as they were.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The whole operation runs in your browser; the text is never transmitted anywhere.
