Remove Hyphens
A free online tool that replaces hyphens with spaces. Paste any text and every hyphen becomes a space, which turns URL slugs, kebab-case names, and hyphenated file names back into readable text. Capitalization is left exactly as you typed it.
How to Use the Hyphen Remover
Paste your text into the first box. The cleaned version appears in the second box straight away, and the copy button sends it to your clipboard.
Examples: my-blog-post-title becomes my blog post title. 2026-09-20-report becomes 2026 09 20 report. e--mail becomes e mail, because a run of hyphens collapses to a single space.
What the Tool Changes
Only hyphens are touched. Letter case is preserved, so Well-Known becomes Well Known rather than well known. Hyphens at the start or end are removed instead of being left behind as stray spaces.
Watch Compound Words
The tool cannot tell a slug separator from a real hyphen, so genuine compounds are split too. mother-in-law becomes mother in law and state-of-the-art becomes state of the art. If your text mixes slugs with ordinary prose, read the output before using it.
When to Remove Hyphens
Turning a URL slug back into a headline is the common one. It also helps when recovering a title from a permalink, cleaning up a downloaded file name, or preparing kebab-case identifiers for documentation. To go the other way, the hyphen converter adds them back, and the underscore remover handles snake_case.
Other Text Converters
For other text transformations: title case converter, sentence case, lowercase, UPPERCASE, camelCase, snake_case, dot.case, hyphenated (kebab-case), and invert case.
