Em Dash Remover

Replace em dashes and en dashes in your text with regular hyphens or commas.

How This Works

Replaces every em dash (โ€”) and en dash (โ€“) with a regular hyphen or comma, and cleans up any double spacing left behind โ€” useful for text pasted from AI tools or word processors that auto-insert em dashes. Everything runs in your browser โ€” nothing is uploaded or stored.

Why do I need to remove em dashes?

Em dashes (โ€”) are common in edited prose and AI-generated text, but some style guides, forms, or plain-text systems prefer a simple hyphen. This tool swaps them out in one click.
