No. ToolZeno processes all text operations 100% client-side inside your web browser. Your text never leaves your local device, ensuring complete security and data privacy.

Preserve First (default) retains the very first occurrence of a line and filters out all subsequent repetitions. Preserve Last scans from the end, retaining only the final occurrence of duplicate lines while preserving original relative ordering.

Yes. By checking the 'Ignore blank lines' option, blank lines (or lines containing only whitespace, if 'Trim whitespace' is enabled) are skipped during deduplication and remain untouched in the output rather than collapsing to a single empty line.

Standard JavaScript comparison can fail for Turkish casing (e.g. converting 'i' to 'I' instead of 'İ'). Under Advanced Settings, you can select the Turkish (tr-TR) or Azerbaijani (az-AZ) locale to ensure case-insensitive deduplication processes correct language-specific transformations.

You can upload, drag & drop, or paste files up to 10MB. Files above 2MB will show a performance warning because processing hundreds of thousands of lines can cause brief UI latency, but it will execute successfully without crashing.
