FAQ — Remove Duplicate Lines Free Online Tool

What is 'unique only' mode?

Unique only mode keeps only lines that appear exactly once. Lines that appear 2+ times are removed entirely.

Does trimming affect duplicate detection?

Yes. When 'Trim lines' is enabled, ' hello ' and 'hello' are treated as duplicates because both trim to 'hello'.
