Does it change the spelling?
Letters are kept. Removing points does not add missing vowel letters (matres lectionis), so the result is not an automatic conversion to modern unpointed spelling.

Frequently asked questions
What stays in the text?
Cantillation marks stay unless you select the option to remove them. Meteg, Hebrew punctuation, Latin accents, emoji and other scripts stay. Pointed Hebrew presentation characters are decomposed only when needed to remove their vowel or consonant points.
Can it remove cantillation marks too?
Yes. Select “Also remove cantillation marks (ta'amim)” to remove those marks as well as niqqud. Leave it unchecked to keep them, which is the default. Meteg is kept in either mode.
What about silluq and meteg?
Silluq is encoded with the same Hebrew mark as meteg, so it stays in both modes. The option removes the separate cantillation marks.
Can it add niqqud?
This tool removes existing points. It does not predict or add new ones.
