How to use

  1. Remove repeated lines from keyword lists, logs, notes, IDs, URLs, and copied spreadsheet exports while keeping the first occurrence.
  2. The tool compares each line as text and returns a cleaned list, which helps before importing data or reviewing repeated items.
  3. Whitespace and capitalization can make two lines look different, so normalize text first when exact matching matters.

The first occurrence stays in place and later duplicate lines are removed.

Things to check

Whitespace and capitalization can make two lines look different, so normalize text first when exact matching matters.

Workflow tips

For best results, decide whether spacing and capitalization should matter before removing duplicates. If you are cleaning keywords, URLs, or IDs, trim extra spaces first so visually identical lines are matched. After cleaning, scan the first and last few lines to make sure the order still matches your original workflow.

Review checklist

A practical workflow is to paste the raw list, remove duplicate lines, then copy the cleaned list into a spreadsheet or planning document. If the list came from multiple sources, run a quick scan for spelling variants after deduplication. For URL lists, consider sorting or grouping afterward so related pages are easier to review.

Publishing note

When sharing the final list with another person, mention that duplicates were removed by exact line match. That small note prevents confusion if someone expected fuzzy matching or manual grouping.
