Find & Replace Text

Free Find & Replace Text that works offline

Find and replace text across a large block without opening a full editor. Use exact literal matching for everyday cleanup or enable regular expressions for structured patterns and capture-group replacements.

What this find & replace text does

Literal mode safely treats punctuation as ordinary characters. Regular-expression mode exposes the browser’s JavaScript pattern engine for advanced work, including groups and replacement references such as $1. You can replace the first match or every match and choose whether capitalization matters.

How to use the Find & Replace Text

1. Enter the text or pattern to find and the replacement value.
2. Choose literal or regular-expression mode and case sensitivity.
3. Paste the original content, then select Replace.
4. Check the reported match count and copy the updated version.

Common uses

• Changing repeated product names or links in copied content
• Removing known prefixes and suffixes from lists
• Reformatting structured lines with regex capture groups
• Previewing bulk edits before applying them to source files

Private processing and offline access

This tool does not submit your input to a conversion server. Processing takes place inside the browser using local JavaScript and standard Web APIs. After the PWA has been installed or cached, the page and its core features remain available without an internet connection. Closing or clearing the page removes unsaved input; the tool does not create an account or cloud history.

Tips for accurate results

• Test complex regular expressions on a small sample before using them on long text.
• An empty replacement deletes every matched value.
• Replacement syntax follows JavaScript rules, so $& inserts the complete match and $1 inserts the first captured group.
