Find and Replace

Replace text in bulk, with case-sensitive and whole-word matching

How to use this tool

Follow these steps to find and replace text:

  1. Paste your text into the main box
  2. Enter the text to find and what to replace it with
  3. Toggle match case or whole word if you need stricter matching
  4. Click "Replace All" to update the text, then copy the result

All processing happens locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device.

Best for these scenarios

This find and replace tool is particularly useful in these common situations:

  • Renaming across a document — Swap a placeholder name, product name, or variable across a large block of text
  • Cleaning up pasted content — Remove or replace stray characters, quote styles, or formatting artifacts
  • Preparing CSV or data exports — Standardise delimiters or fix inconsistent terms before importing elsewhere
  • Editing without a full text editor — Do a quick replace without opening a dedicated app

Whether you're editing content, cleaning data, or renaming something across a document, this tool handles it instantly.

Tips and limitations

To get the most out of this tool, keep these points in mind:

  • Whole word only — Prevents partial matches inside longer words (e.g. "cat" won't match inside "category")
  • Match case — Off by default, so "Text" and "text" are treated the same unless you enable it
  • No regular expressions — This tool does plain text matching, not pattern-based (regex) replacement
  • Privacy — All processing happens locally; no text is sent to servers

FAQ

Does this find and replace tool support case-sensitive matching?

Yes. Toggle "Match case" to only replace text that matches the exact capitalisation you typed, or leave it off to replace regardless of case.

Can I match whole words only?

Yes. Enable "Whole word only" to avoid replacing a search term when it appears inside a longer word — for example, replacing "cat" won't affect "category" when this is enabled.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All find-and-replace processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server.
