Frequently asked questions
- Is Duplicate Line Remover free to use?
- Yes. Duplicate Line Remover is available on the free plan with 20 daily runs. Paid plans add higher quotas for repeat work.
- Which copy of a repeated line is kept?
- The first one, in its original position. Later copies are removed, so the surviving line carries the spelling and capitalisation of the earliest version in the list.
- Is the comparison case-sensitive?
- No - Apple and apple count as the same line and one of them goes. Run the list through the case converter first if you want the casing to be consistent in the result.
- Does it ignore extra spaces?
- Lines are trimmed before they are compared, so a line differing only by trailing spaces counts as a duplicate and the trimmed version is what remains.
- How do I know how many lines were removed?
- The tool reports the number of unique lines and how many duplicates it dropped, so you can check the result is the length you expected.
