Strip every occurrence of a word or phrase out of your text.

Remove words

Paste your text, list the words you want gone, and every occurrence disappears as you type. Separate the entries with commas — "the, and, however" strips all three in one pass, and an entry like "New York" is removed as a whole phrase. When one term contains another, the longer one wins, so listing both "New" and "New York" takes out the city instead of leaving "York" stranded.

Use it to cut filler words from a draft, pull a client or brand name out of a document before you share it, clear stop words from keyword research, or delete a repeated label that an export bolted onto every row. Whatever you type in the word list is matched literally: an entry like "a.b", "$5" or "(" removes exactly those characters rather than being read as a pattern.

"Whole words only" is on by default, so removing "cat" leaves "catalog" and "concatenate" untouched. It handles accented letters correctly — "čaj" does not match inside "čajovňa" and "őz" leaves "őzike" alone — which ordinary word-boundary matching gets wrong. Case is ignored unless you switch "Match case" on, so "The" and "the" both go. "Tidy spacing" cleans up the gap a removal leaves behind: double spaces collapse to one and each line loses any space at its start or end. Turn it off when indentation matters, and the missing words are the only change. Punctuation stays where it was, so cutting a word out of a list can leave a stray comma to fix by hand.

Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, so contracts, customer records and unpublished drafts are safe to clean here.

FAQ

How do I remove a whole phrase?
Type it as a single entry — "New York" removes the phrase, not the two words separately. Commas split the list, so a phrase that contains a comma cannot be entered here; use find and replace for that.
Why does removing "cat" leave "catalog" alone?
"Whole words only" is on by default. Turn it off and the letters are removed wherever they appear, including inside longer words.
Does it work with accented words?
Yes. Whole-word matching understands letters like č, ő, ł and ß, so removing "čaj" will not damage "čajovňa". Case is ignored for accented letters too unless "Match case" is on.
Why is there a stray comma left behind?
The tool removes the words you list and nothing else — punctuation around them stays put. Run find and replace afterwards, or add ", word" to the list to take the comma with it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
