Hashtag remover online

Paste a social media post and the tool strips every hashtag of the form "#word", and, with the option on, every "@name" mention too. Useful when you need to turn a hashtag-laden post into clean text for another platform.

Hashtags removed
Mentions 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

Hashtag A # character immediately followed, with no space, by letters, digits or underscores
Mention An @ character in the same format — only checked when the option is on
Alphabet Latin, Cyrillic, digits and underscore
Space after the hash "# word" doesn't count as a hashtag — the hash and the word must run together
Removal trace Empty space is left where the hashtag was — extra spaces aren't collapsed automatically

When it misleads you

How it is calculated

A hashtag is matched with a regular expression: a # character immediately followed, with no space, by one or more letters (Latin or Cyrillic), digits or underscores.

Every hashtag found is removed from the text, and their count is shown.

If "also remove mentions" is on, mentions are found and removed the same way (an @ character instead of #) — from the text that already has its hashtags stripped.

The mentions counter shows "—" when the option is off — meaning mentions weren't checked at all, not that none were found.

Questions and answers

Are Cyrillic hashtags recognized?

Yes, the character set includes both Latin and Cyrillic — "#прогулка" is removed just like "#walk".

There are double spaces left after removing hashtags — is that normal?

Yes, that's expected — empty space is left where the hashtag used to be. If you need clean text with no extra spaces, run the result through an extra-space remover afterwards.

How do I remove both hashtags and mentions at once?

Turn on "also remove mentions" — that strips both "#hashtags" and "@mentions" in one pass.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No, all the processing runs in your browser.
