Find and Replace
Find and Replace is a free text tool that runs directly in your browser with no account required.
About this tool
Replace every occurrence of a word or phrase in a block of text using simple literal matching. Because it treats the search term as plain text rather than a pattern, special characters like dots, brackets, and dollar signs need no escaping.
How to use
- Paste your content into the Text field.
- Type the exact string to locate in the Find field.
- Enter the substitute in the Replace with field and copy the result.
Frequently asked questions
Does it replace all occurrences or just the first?
All occurrences throughout the text are replaced in one pass.
Is the search case-sensitive?
Yes. "Brown" will not match "brown". Normalize case first with the Case Converter if you need case-insensitive replacement.
Can I use regex or wildcards in the Find field?
No, matching is literal, which is a feature: characters like ., *, (, and $ are matched exactly as typed. For pattern-based work, use the Regex Tester to develop your expression.
Can I delete text with this tool?
Yes. Leave Replace with empty and every match is removed from the text.
Is my text private while I edit?
Yes. The replacement runs in your browser only; the tool makes no network requests with your content.
