Smart Quotes to Straight Quotes
Convert curly quotes, dashes and ellipses to plain ASCII
About the Smart Quotes to Straight Quotes tool
Word processors auto-replace straight quotes with “curly” typographic quotes, hyphens with en/em dashes, and three dots with a single … character. Those look right in print but break code, config files, CSVs, and older web forms. This tool converts smart quotes, dashes, ellipses, and non-breaking spaces back to their plain ASCII equivalents.
