To find and replace text, paste your text, enter what to find and what to replace it with, and apply. The Find & Replace tool shows how many matches it found and supports plain-text, whole-word and case options.
How to use the Find & Replace
- Paste your text into the input box.
- Enter the word or phrase to find and the replacement.
- Choose options such as match case or whole word.
- Check the match count, then copy the updated text.
Worked example
Replacing “colour” with “color” in “The colour of the colourful car” gives “The color of the colorful car” with 2 matches, or only 1 if you choose whole-word matching.
Tips and common mistakes
- Use whole-word matching so replacing “cat” does not change “category”.
- Leave the replacement empty to delete every match.
- Check the match count first to confirm you are changing what you expect.
Frequently asked questions
Can I undo a replacement?
Your original stays in the input box, so you can simply adjust and run again.
Is my text private?
Yes. Replacement runs in your browser.
What does whole-word matching do?
It only matches the exact word, not the same letters inside a longer word.
