Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q1. What counts as a duplicate line?
A1. A duplicate line is any line exactly matching another (depending on settings like case-sensitivity, whitespace). If the case is ignored, “Apple” and “apple” are duplicates.
Q2. Does removing duplicates change the order of lines?
Typically, the first occurrence remains in its original place; duplicates are removed. If “sort” is enabled, order may change.
Q3. Can I handle large lists (thousands of lines)?
Yes — the tool supports large blocks, but extremely large inputs may affect browser performance. Splitting into chunks helps.
Q4. Why use this instead of a manual list tool or spreadsheet?
Much faster: no manual filtering or complex formulas. Good for quick cleanup of text, logs or data imported from other sources.
Q5. Is the tool free and secure?
Yes — free to use and processes usually occur locally in the browser (check privacy policy). For sensitive data, verify that nothing is sent externally.
