How to Use Duplicate Line Remover

To remove duplicate lines, paste your text into the left input area. The tool processes each line and removes any lines that appear more than once, keeping only the first occurrence. The cleaned output appears instantly in the right panel.

You can choose whether the comparison is case-sensitive (so 'Apple' and 'apple' are treated as different lines) or case-insensitive (treating them as duplicates). A stats panel shows the original line count, the number of duplicates removed, and the reduction percentage. Click Copy to copy the deduplicated output.
