How to Use Remove Duplicate Lines

  1. Paste your list into the text box, one item per line.
  2. Choose whether to ignore case, trim spaces, and remove blank lines.
  3. Click Remove Duplicate Lines, then copy the cleaned result.

Key Features

  • Removes duplicate lines while preserving the original order
  • Optionally ignores case so 'Apple' and 'apple' count as the same line
  • Optionally trims leading/trailing spaces before comparing
  • Optionally strips blank lines
  • Handles large pasted lists quickly

Who It's Useful For

  • Marketers cleaning up keyword or email lists
  • Developers deduplicating URLs or log lines
  • Anyone who's merged two lists and ended up with repeats

Practical Examples

  • Clean a list of keywords exported from two different tools
  • Remove repeated URLs from a crawled or scraped list
  • Merge two contact lists and remove duplicate email addresses

Tips for Better Results

  • By default, comparison ignores case and trims spaces — turn these off if you need an exact, character-for-character match
  • The first occurrence of each line is kept; later duplicates are removed
  • Blank lines are removed by default; uncheck that option to keep them

FAQ

Is 'Apple' treated as a duplicate of 'apple'?

Yes, by default comparison ignores case — uncheck 'Ignore case when comparing' if you need an exact match.

What happens to blank lines?

They're removed by default; uncheck 'Remove blank lines' to keep them in the result.

Which copy of a duplicate line is kept?

The first one that appears in your pasted text; every later repeat is removed.

How do I remove duplicate lines?
