Frequently Asked Questions

How does the duplicate removal work?

The tool scans your text line by line. In 'Remove all duplicates' mode, it keeps only the first occurrence of each line. In 'Consecutive only' mode, it works like the Unix uniq command β€” only removing duplicates that appear next to each other. In 'Remove all occurrences' mode, it strips every line that appears more than once.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.

What's the difference between the three modes?

'Remove all duplicates' keeps the first occurrence of each unique line. 'Consecutive only' only removes duplicates that are adjacent (like Unix uniq). 'Remove all occurrences' removes every line that appears two or more times β€” nothing is kept.

How does case-insensitive mode work?

When case sensitive is turned off, 'Hello' and 'hello' are treated as the same line. The original casing of the first occurrence is preserved in the output.

Is there a size limit?

There's no hard limit, but very large texts (over 100,000 lines) may slow down your browser since all processing happens client-side.
