What this tool does
Lists exported from spreadsheets, logs and address books usually contain repeats. This tool keeps the first occurrence of every line and preserves the original order, then tells you how many lines were removed.
How to use it
- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Choose whether case, surrounding spaces and blank lines should matter.
- Copy the deduplicated list.
Privacy
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the original order kept?
- Yes. The first time a line appears it is kept in place; later repeats are dropped.
- Are near-duplicates removed?
- Only exact matches are removed, after the trim and case options you selected have been applied.
