Find and Replace Text

Find and replace text online

The Find and Replace tool swaps every occurrence of a word or phrase in your text with another, all at once. It supports case-insensitive matching and full regular expressions, and tells you how many matches it replaced. Everything runs in your browser, so your text stays private.

Why use it

Find and replace is one of the most useful text operations there is: fixing a repeated typo, renaming a term throughout a document, updating URLs or names in bulk, or reformatting data. Doing it by hand is slow and easy to miss; doing it here is instant and shows you exactly how many changes were made.

How to use it

1. Paste your text.
2. Enter what to find and what to replace it with.
3. Optionally enable case-insensitive matching or regex, then copy the result.

Plain text vs regex

Mode	Best for
Plain text	Simple word or phrase swaps
Regex	Patterns — digits, repeated spaces, capture groups

In plain mode, your search is matched literally, so special characters are safe. Turn on regex for powerful pattern matching — for example, \d+ to match numbers, or capture groups with $1 in the replacement to reorder text.

Handy regex replacements

• \s+ → a single space: collapse runs of whitespace.
• ^ → a prefix: add text to the start of every line (with multiline).
• (\w+)@(\w+) with $2-$1: swap around a delimiter.

Private and free

All replacing happens in your browser — your text is never uploaded. The tool is completely free with no limits.
