FAQ

Common questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. Text is searched and replaced entirely in your browser.

Is Find treated as plain text or a pattern?

Plain text only. There's no regex mode, so characters like . * and ( are matched literally.

Can I remove text instead of replacing it?

Yes. Leave "Replace with" empty and click Replace All to delete every match.

How does "Match whole word" handle non-English text?

It treats letters and numbers from any language as word characters, not just English ones. Languages without spaces between words, like Japanese, may not segment the way you expect.

Can I undo a replacement?

Yes. "Restore Original" brings back the text from immediately before your last Replace All.
