Find & Replace Text

Replace every occurrence of a word or phrase, with case-sensitive and whole-word options.

🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server.

The Find & Replace tool swaps every occurrence of a word or phrase in your text for something else, all at once. Paste your text, type what to find and what to replace it with, and the updated version appears instantly along with a count of how many replacements were made. It's the quickest way to bulk-edit text without opening a heavyweight editor.

This is exactly what you need when a name changed, a term was misspelled throughout a document, or you want to standardise wording across a long block of text. Two options give you precision: case-sensitive matching, so “Apple” and “apple” can be treated differently, and whole-word matching, so replacing “cat” won't accidentally change “category” or “concatenate”.

Everything happens live in your browser as you type, with a running tally of matches so you know the change did what you expected. Nothing is uploaded, making it safe for editing private documents, code and confidential text.

How to use

  1. Paste your text into the input box.
  2. Type the word or phrase to find.
  3. Type what it should be replaced with (leave blank to delete it).
  4. Toggle “Case sensitive” and “Whole word only” as needed.
  5. Copy the result — the counter shows how many replacements were made.

Examples

Rename throughout
Replace “Acme Corp” with “Globex” across a contract draft in one step, and see exactly how many times it appeared.
Fix a typo everywhere
Change every “recieve” to “receive” instantly, no matter how many times it occurs.
Delete a word
Find “TODO:” and leave the replace box empty to strip every marker out of your notes.
Whole-word safety
Replacing “art” with “craft” using “Whole word only” changes “art” but leaves “start” and “party” untouched.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace all occurrences or just the first?
All of them. Every match in your text is replaced at once, and the counter tells you how many were changed.
What does case-sensitive do?
With it on, the match must have the same capitalization — so “Sun” won't match “sun”. With it off (the default), case is ignored and both match.
What does whole-word only do?
It only matches your term when it stands alone as a word. Replacing “cat” won't touch “category” or “scatter”, because there the letters are part of a larger word.
Can I delete text by replacing it?
Yes. Leave the “Replace with” box empty and every match is simply removed.
Does it support regular expressions?
Not directly — your search is treated as plain text (special characters are matched literally) to keep it simple and safe. Whole-word and case options cover most needs.
Is my text private?
Yes. All find-and-replace work happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
