Replace words, names or any piece of text in one go. Add as many find-and-replace pairs as you need, and they all run at the same time.
Type what to find on the left and what to put instead on the right. Need more than one change? Press Add another, or Enter in the last box, and add as many pairs as you like. The result updates as you type, and each pair shows how many times it was found.
All the pairs run at the same time, not one after the other. That means you can swap two words, cat for dog and dog for cat, without the first change being undone by the second. Leave the right-hand box empty to delete what you find.
Unless you tick Match case, finding colour also finds Colour and COLOUR, and the replacement follows the word it replaces: color, Color and COLOR. A sentence that started with a capital still starts with one. A replacement with a capital inside it, such as iPhone, keeps its shape. Tick Match case and every replacement is used exactly as you typed it.
Tick Whole words only to change cat without touching category or concatenate. Tick Match case when the capitals are the point, as in code, product names or file paths.
A company or product name that changed. British spelling that has to become American. A template where the same placeholders get new values every time. A name that is misspelled all through a document someone sent you. Word and Excel have find and replace too, but not when the text sits in an email, a form or a CMS field, and not for several changes in one pass.
If what you want gone is a set of characters rather than words, Remove Unwanted Characters is quicker. Everything here runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your computer.
Yes. Press Add another, or Enter in the last box, and add as many find-and-replace pairs as you need. They all run at the same time, so swapping two words works: cat becomes dog and dog becomes cat, without one change undoing the other.
Leave the Replace with box empty. Everything that matches the Find box is taken out.
Yes, unless you tick Match case. The replacement follows the word it replaces, so replacing colour with color turns Colour into Color and COLOUR into COLOR. A replacement with a capital inside it, such as iPhone, keeps its shape. With Match case ticked, only text with exactly the same capitals is found, and the replacement is used exactly as you typed it.
Tick Whole words only. Replacing cat then leaves category and concatenate alone, and it works the same for words with letters like æ, ø and é.
The longer one wins where both fit, so New York is replaced as a whole and New on its own is replaced wherever it stands alone. The order of the pairs does not matter for that.
It does the same job for text that is not in a document: an email, a form, a CMS field or a list copied from anywhere. Paste it in, make the changes, copy it back. It also does several replacements in one pass, which Word and Excel make you repeat one by one.
