Find & Replace

The find and replace tool searches for every occurrence of a text string in your content and replaces it with another string. You enter the search term in the find field and the replacement text in the replace field; the tool does literal matching (optionally case-sensitive or whole-word) and updates all matches at once, so bulk find and replace is fast and consistent without installing any software.

Yes. This find and replace online tool is free to use. You can paste your text, enter find and replace strings, choose options such as case-sensitive or whole-word matching, and copy the result. All processing runs in your browser and your content is not sent to our servers.

Paste your text into the input area, then enter the exact text you want to find in the “find” field and the text you want to replace it with in the “replace” field. Run the tool and the output shows your text with all occurrences replaced. Copy the result for use in your document, CMS, or code. You can run multiple find-and-replace operations by repeating the process on the new text.

Many find and replace tools offer a case-sensitive option so “Word” and “word” are treated differently. Use case-sensitive find and replace when you want to change only capitalized or lowercase instances and leave the rest unchanged. Check the tool options to enable or disable case matching as needed.

This find and replace tool uses literal matching only: it finds exact character strings as you type them. It does not use regular expressions (regex). For pattern-based find and replace (e.g., any digit, or word at line start), use a code editor, IDE, or a dedicated regex replace tool.

Whole-word matching finds the search string only when it appears as a complete word, not inside another word. For example, “cat” would not match “category.” which avoids accidental partial replacements. Whole-word find and replace is especially useful when your find string is short and could appear inside longer words.

The tool only replaces the exact text you specify in the find and replace fields. It does not change font, spacing, or other formatting unless those characters are part of your find or replace strings. Your paragraph and line structure are preserved.

Run one find-and-replace at a time. For several different changes, run the first find and replace, copy the result, then run the next find-and-replace on the new text. Order can matter—for example, replacing “A” then “B” vs “B” then “A”).

Use bulk find and replace to fix repeated typos, normalize terms (e.g., product or company names), change placeholders in templates, clean data by removing or replacing a character, or batch-edit content across an article or meta descriptions. It saves time over manual search-and-replace and keeps edits consistent.

No. This find and replace tool processes text locally in your browser. Your content is not uploaded to our servers or stored. You can safely use it for confidential documents, client copy, and proprietary data without privacy concerns.

For typical documents and articles there is no strict limit. Very long texts (e.g., entire books) may take a few seconds to process. If you hit performance limits, process the text in chunks and combine the results as needed.

Find (or search) only locates text; find and replace finds it and substitutes new text in one step. This tool does both: it finds all matches of your find string and replaces them with your replacement string, so you get the full bulk replacement without a separate search step.

A typical online find and replace tool replaces all occurrences of the find string in the pasted text. If you need to replace only the first occurrence (or the nth), use a text editor or IDE that offers "replace once" or "replace next," or run multiple passes with different find strings.

Yes. Paste CSV content into the find and replace tool, then find a value or delimiter you want to change and replace it. Be careful not to break the CSV structure—for example, replacing commas might break column boundaries. Prefer replacing specific field values or characters that you know are safe to change.

Yes. Paste code into the tool and use find and replace to change variable names, strings, or comments. Use literal matching and always review the result so you do not break syntax. For large codebases or refactors, an editor or IDE with project-wide find and replace is often more efficient.

Yes. The tool replaces every occurrence of the find string in the pasted text, including inside HTML tags. If you only want to replace in visible text and not in markup, strip HTML first with a strip HTML tool, run find and replace on the plain text, then re-apply structure, or use an editor that can limit replace to text nodes.

Yes. Use find and replace to normalize keyword phrasing, fix repeated typos, or update brand names and URLs across an article or batch of meta descriptions. Review the output to ensure replacements are correct and do not change meaning or create duplicate or awkward phrasing.

Yes. The find and replace tool runs in your browser, so it works on phones and tablets. You can paste text, enter find and replace strings, run the tool, and copy the result without installing an app.

The tool does literal matching, so special characters are matched exactly as typed. If you need to find a newline, tab, or other control character, check whether the tool allows pasting those characters into the find field. Some tools support escape sequences or special options for common characters.

No. This find and replace online tool runs entirely in your browser. There is no download or account required. Paste your text, enter find and replace, run, and copy the result.

Yes. Use an empty string as the replacement to delete every occurrence of the find string. This is useful for removing a repeated typo, placeholder, or unwanted character from your text. The find and replace tool will leave the replace field empty and remove all matches.

Use whole-word matching when possible so short find strings do not match inside longer words. Prefer specific find strings (e.g., “Product Name” instead of “Name”). Always review the result before using it in production or publishing, and run one replacement at a time when order matters.
