Find and Replace Text

Find and replace, in your browser

Paste any text, type what to find and what to replace it with, and get the result instantly — along with a count of how many replacements were made. Everything happens locally, so even sensitive text never leaves your device.

Options

• Case-insensitive — matches "Cat", "cat", and "CAT" alike.
• Regular expression — treat the find field as a regex pattern for advanced matching, like \d+ for digits or \s+ for runs of whitespace.

FAQ

Can I use capture groups in the replacement?

Yes — with regex mode on, reference captured groups as $1, $2, and so on in the replace field, exactly as you would in most programming languages.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no sign-up and no limit on the amount of text you process. Paste as much as you like and replace as many times as you need.

Is my text private?

Yes. The find-and-replace runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript, so the text you paste never leaves your device or touches a server. That makes it safe for sensitive content like contracts, logs, or personal notes.

Can I replace text across multiple lines at once?

Yes — paste the full multi-line text and every match is replaced in one pass. With regex mode on, patterns like \n match line breaks, letting you collapse or reformat across lines.

What happens if I leave the replace field empty?

Every match of your find term is deleted, since each one is replaced with nothing. This is a quick way to strip out unwanted words, characters, or whitespace from a block of text.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, the tool works in any mobile browser. The result and replacement count update instantly, so you can clean up text on your phone just as easily as on a desktop.
