2. Tick the options you need: ignore case & surrounding spaces.
3. Results update automatically as you type; you can also press Calculate.
4. Read the output: result, lines removed.

Worked example

With ignore case & surrounding spaces = no, the Remove Duplicate Lines returns lines removed: 2.

Where the Remove Duplicate Lines helps in real life

You merged three email lists for a newsletter and many people appear twice. Removing duplicate lines gives a clean list where everyone receives one copy.

An SEO specialist combines keyword ideas from several tools. Deduplicating leaves a unique list ready for grouping.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Leaving trailing spaces that make identical lines look different.
• Treating capitalized and lowercase versions as different when they are not.
• Deduplicating data where repeated rows are meaningful.
• Forgetting to keep the original list.

💡 Practical tip: Run the remove-extra-spaces tool first — a single trailing space can hide a duplicate.

Tips for better results

• Remove extra spaces first so near-duplicates match.
• Lowercase lists like emails before deduplicating.
• Sort afterwards if order no longer matters.
