Understanding Duplicate Detection Modes

Remove All Duplicates: Keeps only unique lines. If a line appears multiple times, only the first occurrence is kept. Best for creating clean, unique lists.

Keep First: Similar to remove all - preserves the first occurrence of each line and removes all subsequent duplicates.

Keep Last: Keeps the last occurrence of duplicate lines and removes earlier ones. Useful when the last entry is most important.

Show Duplicates Only: Displays only lines that appear more than once. Perfect for identifying what content is duplicated.

Advanced Options Explained

Case Sensitive: When enabled, "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different lines. Disable for case-insensitive duplicate detection.

Trim Whitespace: Removes leading and trailing spaces before comparison. Prevents "apple" and " apple " from being treated as different.

Ignore Empty Lines: Skips blank lines in the comparison. Useful for text with irregular formatting or line breaks.

  • Test with Sample: Use the sample data to understand how each mode works before processing your own text.
  • Case Sensitivity Matters: Consider whether "John" and "john" should be treated as duplicates for your use case.
  • Preserve Original: Keep a copy of your original text in case you need to try different settings.
  • Download Large Results: For large text files, use the download feature instead of copying to clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does duplicate detection work?

The tool compares each line of text with all other lines based on your selected options (case sensitivity, whitespace). Lines that match exactly are considered duplicates.

Is there a limit on text size?

No hard limit, but very large texts (millions of lines) may take longer to process depending on your device's performance.

Does this work with CSV files?

Yes! Paste your CSV data and the tool will process it line by line. Each row is treated as a separate line.

Can I preserve the original order?

Yes, the tool maintains the original line order while removing duplicates. The first occurrence position is preserved.

🔒 Your Privacy is Protected

All duplicate detection and removal happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to our servers or any third party. This ensures your data remains completely private and secure while providing instant processing with no file size limits.
