Duplicate Line Remover
Paste your text, toggle your options, and get a clean deduplicated result instantly. Shows original count, duplicates removed, and final line count.
How to Remove Duplicate Lines
Paste your text into the left input box. The tool automatically scans each line and removes any that have already appeared. Use the toggles to control whether comparison is case-sensitive, whether to trim leading/trailing whitespace, and whether to sort the result alphabetically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a duplicate line remover do?
A duplicate line remover scans a block of text line by line and removes any line that has already appeared above it. The first occurrence of each line is kept; all subsequent duplicates are discarded.
What does the case sensitive toggle do?
When case sensitive is OFF (default), "Apple" and "apple" are treated as duplicates and only one is kept. When ON, they are treated as different lines and both are kept.
What does the trim whitespace option do?
Trim whitespace removes leading and trailing spaces from each line before comparison. This means " hello " and "hello" are treated as the same line and one is removed.
When would I use the sort result option?
Sorting is useful when you want a clean, alphabetically-ordered list after deduplication — for example, when cleaning up a list of keywords, names, or URLs.
Are blank lines removed by default?
Yes, blank lines are removed by default. Enable "Keep blank lines" to preserve empty lines in your output.
What is a common use case for this tool?
Common uses include: cleaning up keyword lists, deduplicating email addresses, removing repeated log entries, cleaning CSV data, and preparing unique lists from spreadsheet exports.
Is there a line count limit?
There is no hard limit — the tool runs entirely in your browser and can handle thousands of lines. For very large files (millions of lines), performance may depend on your device.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.
