Frequently Asked Questions
Does it ignore casing (e.g., "Apple" vs "apple")?
By default, the tool is case-sensitive. "Apple" and "apple" are treated as unique
lines. If you need case-insensitive cleaning, use our Lowercase Converter first.
How many lines can I clean at once?
There is no strict limit. The tool can handle thousands of lines of text smoothly
in most modern browsers.
Does it remove empty lines too?
If you have multiple blank lines, it will treat the first blank line as a unique
line and remove the rest. To remove all blank lines, use our Remove Empty Lines tool.
