Everything about text filtering online

Why filter text lines?

Text pasted from logs, exports or lists is often full of blank lines, repeated entries, stray spaces and comment lines. This filter cleans it in one pass: remove empty lines and duplicates, trim spaces, drop lines starting with a prefix (# or //) or shorter than a minimum length — and see how many lines were removed.

Common use cases

Deduplicating email lists, URLs or IDs before an import. Removing blank lines and comments from configuration files. Trimming the spaces left by a copy-paste from a spreadsheet or a PDF. Dropping very short lines (headers, separators) from an export. Preparing a clean list before sorting it with Text Sort. To keep only the lines that contain a word or a pattern, use Text Search.

Features & details

All filters combine: trim first, then remove empty lines, the prefix filter, the minimum length, then duplicates (the first occurrence is kept, order preserved). Windows (CRLF) and Unix line endings are both handled and kept. The number of lines before and after is shown. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file. Works entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.
