About the find & replace

The find and replace tool searches your text for a target string or pattern and swaps every match for replacement text. It works on plain text just like the find-and-replace in a word processor, but runs instantly in your browser on as much text as you paste.

Three options give you precise control. Toggle case sensitivity so "Cat" and "cat" are treated differently, restrict matches to whole words so "cat" does not match "category", or switch on regular expressions for advanced pattern-based replacement.

Options

  • Case sensitive — match letter case exactly.
  • Whole word — match only complete words.
  • Regular expression — use regex patterns for the search field.

How to use the find & replace

  1. Paste your text

    Add the content you want to edit into the input box.

    Type the text to find and what to replace it with. Toggle case sensitivity, whole word, or regex as needed.

  3. Copy the result

    The replaced text and a match count appear below instantly — click Copy to use it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace every match or just the first?
It replaces every match in your text at once, and shows how many replacements were made.
Does it store my text?
No. Your text is processed entirely in your browser and is not sent to a server or saved anywhere.
How do regular expressions work?
When regex is on, the find field is treated as a JavaScript regular expression. Use patterns like \d+ for numbers or \bword\b for whole words, and capture groups like $1 in the replacement.
What does whole word matching do?
It only matches the search term when it appears as a complete word, so "cat" will not match inside "category" or "concatenate".
Is the find and replace tool free?
Yes, it is completely free and requires no account or sign-up.
