CleanTextly's Find and Replace tool lets you find and replace text online instantly — paste your content, enter the words, phrases, or characters to find and what to replace them with, and every occurrence updates live as you type. This text replacer handles cleaning up a document, updating placeholder text, or fixing a recurring typo, entirely in your browser with no waiting and nothing uploaded.
Features
Instant, Live Replacement
Every occurrence is replaced as you type — there's no button to click and no submit step.
Match Case & Match Whole Word
Toggle case-sensitive matching, or restrict replacements to whole words so "cat" won't touch "category" or "cats".
Live Occurrence Counts
See exactly how many matches were found and replaced, updating in real time as you refine your search.
Preserves Everything Else Exactly
Every character outside your matches — spacing, indentation, line endings, Unicode, and emoji — is kept exactly as written.
100% Private
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Paste your text into the Input box, type the text to find and what to replace it with, and every occurrence updates instantly — there's no "Replace" button to click.
When enabled, only standalone words are matched — searching for "cat" won't match "cats" or "category". It works correctly with accented letters and non-Latin scripts, not just plain English.
By default, no — "Cat" and "cat" are treated the same. Turn on "Match Case" to only replace text that matches the exact capitalization.
Yes. Leave "Replace With" empty and every match of your "Find" text is deleted instead of being swapped for something else — a quick way to strip out repeated words, phrases, or stray characters.
No — this tool always matches your "Find" text literally, so characters like "." or "$" are treated as plain text rather than pattern syntax. If you need pattern-based matching, CleanTextly's Regex Tester lets you build and test regular expressions separately.
No. Every character outside of what you're replacing — spacing, line breaks, Unicode, and emoji — is preserved exactly as written.
No. All find and replace processing happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server or stored.
