Illustration explaining how Remove Duplicate Lines works

How to use it

  1. Paste a list or text with one item per line.
  2. Choose whether to ignore blank rows, surrounding spaces, or case differences.
  3. Review the automatically deduplicated output.
  4. Click “Copy result” to copy the remaining lines.

Supported input and notes

Each line is compared as an item. Case and surrounding-space options affect whether similar lines are treated as duplicates.

When it is useful

Useful for cleaning mailing lists, inventories, tags, or other repeated line-based items.

Keep the First Match

The first occurrence is kept and later duplicate lines are removed without changing the original order.

Ignore Blank Lines

When enabled, blank lines are excluded from comparison and output.

Ignore Edge Spaces

Leading and trailing spaces are removed before comparison, and the trimmed line is used in the output.

Ignore Letter Case

Apple and apple can be treated as duplicates while keeping the first spelling in the output.

Inner Spaces Still Matter: The trim option affects only the start and end of a line. Different spacing inside a line still makes the lines different.

Removal Counts

The tool shows considered input lines, duplicates removed, and output lines.

FAQ

Does the line order change?

No. The first occurrence stays in its original position.

Can Apple and apple be treated as duplicates?

Yes. Enable case-insensitive comparison.

Are partially matching lines removed?

No. Duplicate detection compares the full line value.
