Frequently Asked Questions

Is this text find and replace tool free to use?
Yes, this text find and replace tool is completely free with no limits on text size or number of operations. No registration required, and no watermarks added to processed text.
Is my text data uploaded to your servers?
No, all text processing happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security for sensitive documents and information.
Does the tool support regular expressions?
Yes, you can enable regex mode to use powerful pattern matching with capture groups, character classes, quantifiers, and other advanced regex features for complex find and replace operations.
Can I replace all occurrences or just the first match?
You can choose to replace all occurrences of the pattern or just the first match. The "Replace All" option is enabled by default for bulk operations, but can be disabled for selective replacement.
How does case sensitivity work?
When case sensitivity is disabled, "Hello" and "hello" are treated as the same pattern. You can also enable "Preserve Case" to maintain the original capitalization in replacements.
What is whole word matching?
Whole word matching ensures that the pattern only matches complete words. For example, searching for "cat" with whole words enabled won't match "catalog" or "concatenate".
How large files can I process?
The tool can handle large text files efficiently in your browser. Processing time depends on text size and complexity of patterns, but typical documents process in milliseconds.
Can I see statistics about the replacement operation?
Yes, the tool provides detailed statistics including total matches found, number of replacements made, lines affected, and processing time to help you understand the operation results.
