Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a character limit on the input?
The Remove Duplicate Lines handles inputs up to approximately 1 million characters in most browsers. Beyond that, the textarea may become sluggish. If you need to process larger text, split it into smaller batches and process each one separately.
Does the tool support Unicode characters?
Yes. The Remove Duplicate Lines handles Unicode correctly, including emoji, CJK characters, RTL scripts (Arabic, Hebrew), and combining diacritics. Whitespace and line breaks are preserved unless you explicitly ask the tool to remove them.
Will the tool remember my last input?
No. The Remove Duplicate Lines does not persist any data between sessions. When you reload the page, the workspace is empty. If you need to keep a result, use the Copy or Download buttons before navigating away.
