Frequently asked questions
How does this tool detect duplicate lines?
It compares each line's text against every other line and removes repeats, keeping only the first occurrence unless you choose a different order option.
Can I keep the original order while removing duplicates?
Yes, there's an option to preserve the order lines first appeared in, rather than sorting the deduplicated list.
Does it ignore case differences when comparing lines?
You can toggle case-sensitive comparison on or off, so 'Apple' and 'apple' can be treated as duplicates or as distinct lines.
Will leading or trailing spaces affect duplicate detection?
The tool trims whitespace before comparing lines, so 'text ' and 'text' are correctly recognized as duplicates.
Is there a limit on how many lines I can deduplicate?
No practical limit since all processing runs locally in your browser rather than through a server.
Is my list of emails or URLs uploaded anywhere?
No, everything is processed client-side in JavaScript and never leaves your device.
