About Duplicate Line Remover

Duplicate Line Remover strips repeated lines out of a list — emails, URLs, tags, log lines, anything one-per-line — while keeping the first occurrence of each and preserving the original order. It's built for cleaning up lists pasted from spreadsheets, exports, or scraped data where the same value shows up more than once. Everything runs locally in your browser as you type; nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste or type your list

    Drop your list into the input above, one item per line. There's no minimum or maximum length.

  2. 2

    Choose your matching rules

    Toggle "Case sensitive" off to treat "Foo" and "foo" as duplicates, "Ignore whitespace" on to treat lines that only differ by leading/trailing spaces as duplicates, and "Remove blank lines" to drop empty lines entirely.

  3. 3

    Copy the result

    The deduplicated list updates live below — use Copy result to grab it, or Clear to start over.

What it does

FAQ

Does it keep the first or last occurrence of a duplicate?

The first occurrence. Later duplicates are removed and the rest of the list keeps its original order.

Will it re-sort my list?

No. Deduplication doesn't change the order of the remaining lines — use a dedicated Sort Lines tool if you also want to sort.

Does this tool send my text anywhere?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser as you type. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored.
