About this tool

Remove Duplicate Lines is a free online tool that deletes duplicate lines from any block of text. Paste a list and it keeps the first occurrence of each line while dropping every repeat, so you get a clean, deduplicated result in one click. It works with anything line-based — word lists, CSV columns, log entries, email addresses, URLs, keyword lists, and more.

Use it to dedupe text wherever duplicates pile up: cleaning mailing lists before an import, removing repeated lines from log files, tidying export data, or merging two lists into one unique set. You can keep the original order, or switch to dedupe-and-sort to get unique lines arranged alphabetically. There are also modes to remove empty lines and to trim whitespace from each line before deduping.

Privacy is built in. The entire process runs locally in your browser with JavaScript — your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored on a server. That makes it safe for confidential lists, customer data, and internal logs. Choose preserve-order to keep your list as-is, or sort to normalize it; either way, matching is exact and case-sensitive so you stay in full control of what counts as a duplicate.

Frequently asked questions

Is this duplicate line remover free?+

Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermarks.

Is my text uploaded or kept private?+

Your text is never uploaded. All deduplication happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing leaves your device.

Does it keep the original order of my lines?+

Yes. The default Remove duplicates mode keeps the first occurrence of each line and preserves your original order.

Can it sort the lines as well as dedupe them?+

Yes. Switch to the Dedupe + sort mode to get unique lines sorted alphabetically instead of in their original order.

Does it remove empty lines?+

Yes. The Remove empty lines mode drops blank and whitespace-only lines, and Trim + dedupe also removes any lines that become empty after trimming.

Is duplicate matching case-sensitive?+

Yes. Matching is exact and case-sensitive, so 'Apple' and 'apple' are treated as two different lines.
