Clean and dedupe a list

Remove blank lines, trim spaces, drop duplicates and sort — in one pass.

  1. 1.Remove empty lines
  2. 2.Trim lines
  3. 3.Remove duplicate lines
  4. 4.Sort lines
Pasted a list out of a spreadsheet, an email or a log and it came with blank lines, stray spaces and repeats? This pipeline runs the four cleanup steps in the order that actually works: strip empty lines first, trim leading and trailing spaces on each line, remove duplicate lines, then sort what remains alphabetically.
Everything runs in your browser — the list never leaves your device, so it is safe for internal names, emails or anything you would not paste into a random online tool. Paste your list below and the cleaned result appears instantly; each step shows what it changed.
Questions
Why trim before removing duplicates?
Two lines that look identical but differ by a trailing space are not equal to a computer. Trimming first makes the dedupe step catch them.
Is the order of steps important?
Yes. Removing blank lines and trimming first means the dedupe and sort work on clean values, so you do not end up with a sorted list that still has near-duplicates.
Does my list get uploaded anywhere?
No. Every step is a function running locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
