Features of the Duplicate Line Remover

Remove repeated lines from multiline text while keeping the first occurrence and preserving the original order. It is useful for cleaning name lists, URL lists, product codes, TODO items, and copied spreadsheet rows.

Keep list order

The tool removes only later repeated lines, so the remaining list keeps its original order. This is helpful when order reflects priority, creation time, or a manual grouping.

Control spaces and blank lines

By default, surrounding spaces are ignored when comparing lines and blank lines are removed. You can change those options when whitespace differences are meaningful.

Comparison is line-based. If you paste table data, make sure each item you want to compare is on its own line.

Frequently asked questions

Is the text I enter saved?

No. Duplicate removal runs locally in your browser, and the input is not sent to a server.

Does it change the order of lines?

No. The first occurrence of each line is kept, and later duplicate lines are removed.

Are lines with different surrounding spaces treated as duplicates?

By default, surrounding spaces are ignored when comparing lines. Turn that option off if whitespace differences should be treated as different lines.

Can it remove blank lines?

Yes. Blank lines are removed by default. Turn off the blank-line option if you want to keep one blank line.
