Updated: May 2026
You have a list with duplicate entries and need a clean, unique version fast. Flowfiles deduplicates any text list in real time — one item per line — with no account, no upload, and no waiting.
Paste your list and get unique entries immediately.
Deduplicate my list →What types of lists can be deduplicated?
Any list where each entry is on its own line works with this tool. The most common use cases include:
- Email lists — subscriber lists assembled from multiple forms or imports.
- URL lists — crawl exports, redirect lists, sitemap dumps with repeated URLs.
- Keyword lists — combined exports from Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Keyword Planner.
- IP addresses — server log IPs for access control or analysis.
- Usernames or handles — social media exports or form submissions.
- Product SKUs or IDs — inventory exports from e-commerce platforms.
- Domain names — backlink analysis exports with repeated referring domains.
- Phone numbers — CRM exports merged from multiple campaigns.
- Tag lists — blog post tags or category names consolidated across multiple exports.
- ZIP codes or geographic data — location lists from user databases.
Recommended option combinations by list type
The right options depend on your data. Here are the recommended settings for the most common list types:
- Email lists: enable Case insensitive + Trim whitespace. Emails are case-insensitive by protocol and often have invisible padding from form inputs.
- URL lists: case sensitive (URLs with different casing are technically different resources). Trim whitespace to catch trailing spaces.
- Keyword lists: enable Case insensitive. "Running shoes" and "running Shoes" are the same keyword intent.
- IP addresses: case sensitive, trim whitespace. IPv6 addresses use hex notation where case is inconsistent — normalize externally if needed.
- Domain names: enable Case insensitive. Domain names are case-insensitive by definition.
Merging two lists and deduplicating
A very common task is merging two lists — for example, your existing subscriber list and a new import — and keeping only unique entries across both. The workflow is simple:
- Copy the first list and paste it into the input field.
- Press Enter at the end to ensure the last entry has a newline.
- Paste the second list directly below.
- The output column already contains the deduplicated merge.
This works for any number of lists concatenated together in the input.
Frequently asked questions
Does the order of the original list get preserved?
Yes, by default. The first occurrence of each entry is kept in its original position. Enable "Sort output" only if alphabetical order matters more than original order.
Can I deduplicate a list of numbers?
Yes. Numbers on separate lines are treated as text and compared as strings. "007" and "7" are different strings; "7" and "7" are the same.
What is the maximum list size?
There is no enforced limit. The tool handles millions of entries on modern devices. Performance depends on available browser memory.
