❓ FAQ
How does remove duplicates work?▼
Our tool splits your text into individual lines, identifies lines that appear more than once, and keeps only the first occurrence of each unique line. All duplicate versions are removed, leaving a clean list.
Can I remove duplicate email addresses?▼
Yes! Paste your list of email addresses (one per line) and click Remove Duplicates. Optionally enable 'Ignore case' so that [email protected] and [email protected] are treated as the same address.
Does it preserve the original order?▼
Yes, by default the output preserves the original order (first occurrence kept). Enable 'Sort alphabetically' if you want the result sorted A-Z instead.
What if I have trailing spaces on lines?▼
Our tool trims leading and trailing spaces from each line before comparing, so 'apple ' and 'apple' are treated as duplicates. The trimmed version is kept in the output.
How many lines can I process?▼
Our tool can handle thousands of lines efficiently. For very large datasets (100,000+ lines), processing may take a few seconds but will complete successfully in your browser.
