FAQ
Does the tool keep the first occurrence of each line?
Yes. Duplicate removal keeps the first seen line and removes later repeats.
Is my text processed locally?
Yes. Everything stays in your browser.
Does it handle empty lines?
Empty lines are treated as unique lines and are preserved or removed based on duplicates.
Is the comparison case-sensitive?
Yes. Duplicate detection is case-sensitive, so "Hello" and "hello" are treated as different lines.
