How to find and replace text

  1. Paste or type the text into the input box - nothing is uploaded, the text stays in this browser tab.
  2. Type the word or phrase to find, then type what to replace it with; check "Match case" if the search should be case-sensitive.
  3. Click Replace All; the updated text appears in the output box along with a count of how many replacements were made.

Find and Replace Text


Find every occurrence of a word or phrase in a block of text and replace it with something else.

Use it to swap a name across a pasted document, fix a repeated typo, or update a placeholder value throughout a block of text.

Matching is a literal text match (not a regular expression); a "Match case" checkbox controls whether the search is case-sensitive.

Replacing runs locally in this browser tab - no upload and no account; nothing you type is saved between visits.
