Deduplicate a list

Paste one item per line to keep the first occurrence of each exact line. Later matches are removed without sorting the result.

This works for keyword lists, copied identifiers, URLs, email addresses, or log messages where exact repeats should appear once.

Exact matching

Comparison is case-sensitive and includes whitespace. Item, item, and Item are 3 different values.

Run a broader whitespace cleanup first when spacing differences should not make lines unique.

Blank lines

Blank lines are compared like any other line. The first blank line remains, and later identical blank lines are removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The first occurrence stays in its original position. Later exact matches are removed.

Yes. Apple and apple are treated as different lines.

No. Leading, trailing, and repeated spaces are part of the comparison, so visually similar lines may remain if their whitespace differs.
