Remove Periods

A free online tool that replaces periods with spaces. Paste dotted file or folder names like For.All.Mankind.S02E01.1080p and get readable text back: For All Mankind S02E01 1080p. Capitalization is left exactly as you typed it.

How to Use the Period Remover

Paste your text into the first box. You can paste a whole list with one name per line, and each line is cleaned on its own. The result appears in the second box straight away, and the copy button sends it to your clipboard.

Examples: Dune.2021.1080p.BluRay becomes Dune 2021 1080p BluRay. my.file.name becomes my file name. Wait...what becomes Wait what, because a run of periods collapses to a single space.

What the Tool Changes

Only periods are touched. Letter case and other punctuation stay as they are, so S02E01 and BluRay keep their capitals. Periods at the start or end of a line are removed instead of being left behind as stray spaces.

Watch Extensions and Decimals

The tool cannot tell a separator from a period that means something, so it removes them all. A file extension turns into a word (movie.mkv becomes movie mkv), a decimal splits (5.1 becomes 5 1), and abbreviations lose their dots (U.S. becomes U S). If you are renaming files, paste the names without the extension, or add the extension back afterward.

When to Remove Periods

Media file and folder names are the common one, since many downloads use dots where spaces should be. It also helps with dot.case identifiers and translation keys going into documentation, and with version or domain strings you want to read as words. The hyphen remover and underscore remover do the same job for the other common separators, and the title case converter can tidy the capitalization once the dots are gone.

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.
