Frequently asked questions

Which line is kept when there are repeats?

The first one that appears; later copies are removed and the order of the others does not change.

How does it treat case and spaces?

By default “House” and “house” are different. Turn on “Ignore case” to treat them as equal and “Trim spaces” so “house ” and “house” match.

What is “Only lines that appear once” for?

To keep the truly unique items, discarding everything that appears more than once, including its first occurrence.

Is there a line limit?

There is no fixed limit; it depends on your device’s memory. Lists of tens of thousands of lines process fine.

Is my list sent to a server?

No. Everything is processed in your browser, so it is safe for customer or email lists.
