Can I remove duplicate lines with this tool?
Yes. Select Remove Duplicate Lines to keep only the first copy of every repeated line, in the original order. Lines that differ only by extra spaces count as duplicates. This is useful for cleaning up lists, data exports and copy-pasted content.
Does it remove HTML tags?
Yes, the text cleaner can strip HTML tags from text, leaving only the plain text content. Useful for cleaning up copied web content.
