What Is a Duplicate Line Remover?
A duplicate line remover scans your text line by line and keeps only the first occurrence of each unique line, deleting all repeated copies. It's useful for cleaning up lists, removing repeated entries from exported data, deduplicating CSV rows, or tidying up any text where duplicate lines have crept in.

FAQ
What counts as a duplicate line?
Any line that is identical to a line that already appeared earlier in the text. The first occurrence is kept; all subsequent copies are removed.
What does 'Case sensitive' mean?
When enabled, 'Apple' and 'apple' are treated as different lines and both are kept. When disabled, they are considered the same and only one is kept.
What does 'Trim whitespace' do?
It removes leading and trailing spaces from each line before comparing. So ' hello ' and 'hello' will be treated as identical lines.
Is there a line limit?
No. The tool processes text of any length entirely in your browser, with no server-side restrictions.
Does it change the order of my lines?
By default, the original order is preserved. Enable 'Sort output' if you want the unique lines sorted alphabetically instead.
