How to use this tool

  1. Paste your list, one item per line.
  2. Toggle case-insensitive matching if "Apple" and "apple" should count as the same line.
  3. Copy the deduplicated result.

Why deduplicate lines in the browser?

This tracks seen lines locally as it walks through your input — nothing you paste is sent anywhere, whether it's a mailing list or a set of URLs.

Frequently asked questions

Which occurrence does it keep — the first or the last?
The first occurrence of each line is kept, and later duplicates are removed, so the original order is otherwise preserved.
Does it treat "Apple" and "apple" as duplicates?
Only if you check "Treat different case as duplicate" — by default, case matters, so they're kept as two separate lines.

How GetByteRush compares

Most free tools for this online work the same way: you upload your file to their server, wait, then download the result — which means your file (and often your email, for a "free" account) sits on someone else's infrastructure. Here's the actual difference:
