How it works

  1. Paste your lines. Drop your list or text into the box, one item per line.
  2. Set matching options. Open Advanced options to ignore case or whitespace if needed.
  3. Remove and copy. Hit Remove duplicates, see how many were removed, and copy the result.

About this tool

Paste a list or block of text and strip out the repeated lines in one click — handy for deduping email lists, log lines, CSV rows, keyword exports or any line-separated data. The tool keeps the first occurrence of each line and removes the rest, and it tells you how many duplicates it pulled out. Advanced options let you match case-insensitively, ignore stray leading/trailing spaces, and switch to removing every copy of a duplicated line.

What people use it for

  • Dedupe an email or subscriber list
  • Clean repeated rows out of a CSV or export
  • Collapse duplicate log lines before analysis
  • Tidy a keyword or URL list down to unique entries
