About this tool
Lists gathered from multiple sources — email addresses, keywords, spreadsheet exports — often end up with repeated entries. This tool scans your text line by line and removes any line that has already appeared, keeping only the first occurrence in its original position.
You control exactly how matching works: toggle case-sensitivity to decide whether 'Apple' and 'apple' count as duplicates, choose whether to trim whitespace before comparing, and optionally strip out empty lines entirely.
Why use it
- Keeps the first occurrence, removes the rest
- Optional case-sensitive matching
- Trims stray whitespace before comparing
- Can strip empty lines in the same pass
- Shows exactly how many lines were removed
Frequently asked questions
Does this keep the first or last occurrence of a duplicate?
The first occurrence is kept, in its original position; every later repeat of the same line is removed.
What does 'case-sensitive' change?
With it off (the default), 'Email@test.com' and 'email@test.com' are treated as the same line. Turn it on if case differences should count as distinct entries.
Will this remove blank lines from my list?
Only if you check 'remove empty lines' — otherwise blank lines are treated like any other line and duplicates among them are still deduplicated.
Can I use this to clean a list of email addresses?
Yes, that's a common use — paste one address per line, and repeated addresses (regardless of extra spaces, if trimming is on) are removed automatically.
Is there a limit on how many lines I can process?
No hard limit — very large lists are only constrained by your browser's available memory.
