About this tool
Remove Duplicate Lines scans your text line by line and drops every line that has already appeared. The first occurrence of each line stays in its original position, and the tool tells you how many duplicates it removed.
Frequently asked questions
Which copy of a repeated line is kept?
The first one. Later copies are removed, and the remaining lines keep their original order.
Are lines compared exactly?
Yes. Lines that differ by even one character, including extra spaces, count as different lines and are both kept.
