Remove Duplicate Lines

Clean up any list by deleting repeated lines. Choose case-sensitive matching to treat "Apple" and "apple" as different, or case-insensitive to collapse them into one. The first occurrence of each line is always kept.

What it does

  • Keeps the first occurrence of each line
  • Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
  • Preserves the original line order
  • Handles thousands of lines instantly

Great for cleaning data

Use it to tidy up email lists, log files, keyword lists, CSV columns, or any dataset where duplicate rows have crept in.

Case sensitivity matters

Whether duplicates should be matched exactly or regardless of case depends on your data. For names and codes you often want exact matching; for free-text lists, case-insensitive matching usually removes more noise.
