What this tool does
This tool scans your pasted text for every occurrence of the phrase you type in the Find field and replaces each one with whatever you type in the Replace with field. It does not rewrite, rephrase, or change anything beyond the exact matches you specify.
- Ignore case makes the search case-insensitive, so searching for "Corp" also matches "corp" and "CORP".
- Match whole word only skips partial matches. Searching for "cat" with this option on will not match "cats", "concatenate", or "category" — only the standalone word "cat". This uses Unicode-aware boundaries, so it works correctly with accented characters and non-Latin scripts.
- Leave Replace with blank to delete every match without inserting anything in its place.
All characters in the Find field are treated as plain text — dots, parentheses, question marks, and other punctuation are matched literally and are not interpreted as patterns.

Common uses
Find and replace is useful any time you need to make the same edit repeatedly across a block of text:
- Updating names and terms. Replace a company name, product name, or person's name throughout a document draft or template.
- Fixing placeholders. Swap out template placeholders like
[CLIENT_NAME]or[date]with real values before sending. - Correcting repeated typos. If you mistyped a word the same way every time, find the misspelling and replace it with the correct form in one step.
- Cleaning punctuation. Replace double spaces with single spaces, swap em dashes for hyphens, or fix consistent punctuation mistakes across a long paste.
- Updating version strings or labels. Change "v1.0" to "v2.0" or "DRAFT" to "FINAL" across a copied document or log.
- Preparing pasted notes. Replace shorthand or abbreviations you used while taking notes with the full terms before sharing.
To compare the original text with the edited result side by side, use the Text Diff Checker. For case changes — converting text to all caps, title case, or lowercase — use the Text Case Converter. To remove repeated lines after editing, try the Duplicate Line Remover.
Common questions
Does my text get uploaded anywhere?
No. We do not upload or store your text. The replacement runs as JavaScript in your browser — nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored after you close the tab.
What if the Find field is empty?
Nothing is replaced. The output will be identical to the input. The tool requires at least one character in the Find field before it will make any changes.
Can I use wildcards or regular expressions in the Find field?
No. All characters in the Find field are treated as plain text. A dot matches a literal dot, a question mark matches a literal question mark, and so on. This keeps the tool predictable — what you type is exactly what gets matched.
What does "Match whole word only" do?
With this option on, the tool skips any match where the found text is immediately preceded or followed by a letter, number, or underscore. For example, searching for "cat" will not match "cats", "concatenate", or "category" — only a standalone "cat" surrounded by spaces, punctuation, or the start or end of the text. This works with Unicode text including accented letters and non-Latin scripts.
What if I leave the Replace with field blank?
Every match is deleted — replaced with nothing. This is useful for removing a specific word or phrase throughout a block of text. The status message will confirm how many matches were removed.
