What is the Free Find and Replace?

The free Find and Replace tool lets you search your text using plain keywords or full regular expressions and substitute every match — all inside your browser. Four options give you fine-grained control: Use Regex, Case sensitive, Replace all (or just the first), and a live match count. Writers, developers, and data editors use it to clean up bulk text without opening a code editor.

→ Bulk-replace a product name across an entire page of copy after a rebrand.
→ Strip boilerplate phrases from exported text files or logs.
→ Use regex to remove HTML tags, URLs, or specific patterns from raw content.
→ Normalise date formats or phone number styles across a dataset.
→ Fix consistent spelling mistakes in interview transcripts or survey responses.
