Find and Replace

Swapping one term for another across a large block of text is slow and error-prone by hand, and easy to get wrong if you miss an instance. The Find and Replace tool changes every occurrence at once: paste your text, type what to find and what to replace it with, and get the fully updated text back, with a count of how many changes were made.

How to use the Find and Replace tool

1. Paste your text into the editor.
2. Enter the term to find and the term to replace it with.
3. Toggle case sensitivity or regular-expression mode if you need them.
4. Click Replace all and copy the result.

Everyday and advanced uses

The simple case is everywhere: correct a misspelled name throughout a document, update a product or company name after a rebrand, or swap a placeholder for a real value. Turn on regular-expression mode and the tool becomes far more powerful, letting you match patterns rather than fixed text — useful for reformatting data, stripping unwanted characters, or making structured edits across a whole file in one pass.

Tips for safe replacing

• Use case sensitivity when you need to change "IT" but not "it".
• Check the replacement count the tool reports to confirm it did what you expected.
• Test regex on a small sample before running it on a large document.
• Keep a copy of the original in case a replacement was too broad.

All replacements happen in your browser, so your text stays private throughout.
