Q: Does it preserve the order of lines?
Yes. The tool keeps the first occurrence of each line and removes later duplicates, preserving the original order.
Q: Is matching case-sensitive?
By default, matching is case-sensitive so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different lines. You can toggle this option.

After removing duplicates, use the Sort Lines tool to sort the cleaned output alphabetically or numerically.

No. All processing happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
