About Remove Duplicate Lines

This tool cleans a list of lines: it removes duplicates, trims whitespace, drops blank lines, and can sort the result. Paste your lines, toggle the options you want, and get clean output instantly — with optional case-insensitive matching for duplicates. Everything runs in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep the first or last duplicate?
It keeps the first occurrence of each line and removes later duplicates, preserving order unless you also sort.
Can it ignore case when finding duplicates?
Yes. Turn on case-insensitive matching to treat 'Apple' and 'apple' as the same line.
In what order are the steps applied?
Trim, then remove blanks, then de-duplicate, then sort — a predictable order that gives consistent results.
