Frequently Asked Questions
Are trailing spaces considered when matching duplicates?
Yes. By default, this tool performs an exact string match. A line with a trailing space is technically different from one without it. We recommend using our Trim Text tool first if your data is messy.
Is there a line limit?
Since the processing happens locally in your browser, it can handle tens of thousands of lines effortlessly. The only limit is your device's available memory.
