🔒 Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.

How to use the Remove Duplicate Lines

  1. Paste your list, one item per line
  2. Choose options such as ignore case or trim whitespace
  3. Copy the deduplicated list; the counter shows how many lines were removed

About this tool

Email lists, keyword exports, log files and spreadsheet columns pick up duplicates all the time. This tool keeps the first time each line appears and removes later repeats, so the order of your list does not change. Turn on “Ignore case” to treat “Apple” and “apple” as the same line, and “Trim spaces” to ignore stray spaces at either end.

Frequently asked questions

Does it change the order of my list?

No. The first copy of each line stays where it was. To sort as well, use the Sort Lines tool afterward.

How many lines can it handle?

Hundreds of thousands. It runs in your browser using a fast hash set, so even a 10 MB list takes well under a second.

Can I dedupe a CSV column?

Copy just that column from your spreadsheet, paste it here, then paste the result back.
