keep only what's unique

Case handling, whitespace/punctuation control, keep-first or keep-last, sorting, and a full duplicate report โ€” all instant, in your browser.

No history yet. Remove duplicates above to see it appear here.

How to use every option

  1. Add your text โ€” paste it into the box, drag & drop a .txt/.csv file, or click the drop zone to choose a file.
  2. Choose comparison mode โ€” Case-sensitive treats "Apple" and "apple" as different; Case-insensitive treats them as the same line.
  3. Pick what to keep โ€” "First occurrence" keeps the earliest copy of each line and drops later repeats; "Last occurrence" keeps the final copy instead.
  4. Set blank line handling โ€” keep every blank line, strip them all, or collapse all blank lines into a single one.
  5. Sort the output โ€” leave it in original order, or sort A-Z, Z-A, or by line length.
  6. Fine-tune matching โ€” trim stray whitespace, ignore punctuation, or ignore extra internal spaces so near-identical lines still count as duplicates.
  7. Reverse order before processing if you want "last occurrence" behavior without changing the Keep setting.
  8. Add line numbers to the output if you want to reference specific rows afterward.
  9. Click Remove Duplicates โ€” view live stats (total, unique, removed, characters saved) and the cleaned result.
  10. Review the Duplicate Report to see exactly which lines repeated and how many times, before you export.
  11. Copy or download the cleaned text, or revisit a past run from Local History.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. By default the tool keeps the first occurrence of every unique line and preserves the original order. You can switch to keep the last occurrence, or sort the result A-Z / Z-A instead.

Yes. Switch comparison mode to case-insensitive so lines like "Apple" and "apple" are treated as the same entry.

Yes. Processing runs entirely in your browser and handles thousands of lines quickly; very large files depend on your device's available memory.

You choose: keep all blank lines, remove every blank line, or treat blank lines as duplicates of each other so only one remains.

Optionally. You can trim leading/trailing whitespace before comparing, and separately ignore punctuation or extra internal spaces, so lines that only differ by spacing or punctuation are still caught as duplicates.

Yes. The Duplicate Report lists every repeated line along with how many times it appeared, so you can review before exporting.

Yes. Drag and drop a .txt or .csv file, or click to choose one from your device. The result can be copied or downloaded as a new .txt file.

No. All comparison, deduplication, and sorting happen locally in your browser. Nothing you paste or upload is sent to or stored on our servers.
