Markdown Duplicate Line Remover Features
Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
Three Matching Modes
Exact mode catches byte-identical lines. Trim mode ignores leading and trailing whitespace, catching lines that differ only by indentation. Case-insensitive mode folds casing on top of trimming, so TODO and todo count as the same line.
For more aggressive formatting cleanup, try the Markdown Formatter.
Paragraph-Level Deduplication
Enable paragraph-level mode to compare entire blocks separated by double newlines. A repeated paragraph (even if it spans multiple lines) is removed as a whole, while its individual lines stay untouched inside unique paragraphs.
Code Block Protection
Lines inside fenced code blocks (``` or ~~~) are never removed, even if they repeat. Identical code lines (like repeated import statements in different blocks) are safe.
Need to clean up code formatting separately? Check the Whitespace Normalizer.
Keep-First or Keep-Last
By default the first occurrence of each line is kept and later duplicates are removed. Uncheck Keep first occurrence to reverse the behavior and keep the last copy instead, which is useful when later edits are more up-to-date.
