About this tool

Duplicate lines clutter logs, CSV exports, and email lists. This tool removes repeated lines while optionally preserving first or last occurrence order.

Case-sensitive and trim options control whether 'Apple' and 'apple' count as duplicates.

Common use cases

  • Deduplicating email or URL lists
  • Cleaning merge-conflict markers from logs
  • Shrinking stack traces for tickets
  • Preparing unique keyword lists for SEO

How to use

  1. Paste multiline text into the input.
  2. Enable trim or case options if needed.
  3. Run deduplication and review line count reduction.
  4. Copy the unique-line output.

Understanding the result

  • First occurrence is usually kept; later duplicates drop.
  • Empty lines may count as lines—trim option collapses whitespace-only duplicates.
  • Order of surviving lines matches first-seen order in original text.
  • Very large lists process in memory—split huge files if the tab slows.
