About the Remove Duplicate Lines

Merged spreadsheets, exported keyword lists, log files and copied tables all pick up duplicate lines, and removing them by hand is painfully slow. This tool scans your whole list in a fraction of a second and keeps exactly one copy of each line, showing you how many duplicates were removed. Options cover the real-world cases: case-sensitive matching, whitespace trimming, blank line removal, and alphabetical sorting. Everything runs locally in your browser, so it is safe for email lists and customer data that should never be uploaded to a stranger's server.
