Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, the Keyword Deduplicator is completely free to use with no limitations on the number of keywords or frequency of use.

Do I need to create an account?

No, the tool works entirely in your browser without requiring any account creation or login.

Is there a limit to how many keywords I can process?

While there's no hard limit, the tool is optimized for typical use cases involving thousands of keywords. Very large lists (100k+ items) may take longer to process but should still work.

Privacy & Security

Where is my data processed?

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your keywords are never sent to any server or external service.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No, your keyword data is not stored. Only your theme preference (light/dark) is saved locally in your browser.

Can I use this tool offline?

Once the page is loaded, the core functionality works offline. However, you need an internet connection to initially load the tool.

Technical Questions

What file formats are supported?

Currently, only .txt (plain text) files are supported for upload. However, you can copy and paste from any source, including Excel, Google Sheets, Word, or web pages.

How does case sensitivity work?

When case sensitivity is disabled (default), "Marketing" and "marketing" are treated as duplicates, and the first occurrence is kept. When enabled, they're treated as separate keywords.

What happens to special characters and emojis?

All Unicode characters, including special characters and emojis, are preserved in the output. The tool only removes duplicates without modifying the actual content.

How are duplicates determined?

Duplicates are determined after cleaning each line (removing numbering, extra whitespace, etc.). The comparison is then done based on the case sensitivity setting.

Usage Questions

Why aren't my keywords being processed automatically?

Automatic processing occurs when you paste content. If it's not working, try clicking the "Remove duplicates" button manually or using Ctrl+Enter.

Can I undo the deduplication?

The original input remains unchanged. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear everything.

How do I see which keywords were duplicates?

Click the "Show duplicates" button to see a list of keywords that had multiple occurrences, along with their counts.

Can I process multiple lists at once?

The tool processes one list at a time. To process multiple lists, you'll need to run them through separately or combine them first.

Export Questions

What format does the downloaded file use?

Downloads are saved as plain text (.txt) files with one keyword per line, using UTF-8 encoding.

The copy button isn't working. What should I do?

Try selecting all text in the output area and copying manually (Ctrl+C). Some browsers may require permission for clipboard access.

Can I export the duplicate analysis?

Currently, only the deduplicated list can be exported. The duplicate analysis is for display purposes only.

Troubleshooting

The tool seems to be removing keywords that aren't duplicates.

Check your case sensitivity setting. Also, remember that the tool cleans lines by removing numbering and extra whitespace, which might make seemingly different lines identical.

My uploaded file isn't being processed correctly.

Ensure your file is in plain text format (.txt). Files created in Word or other rich text editors should be saved as plain text first.

The theme toggle isn't working.

Try refreshing the page. The theme preference should be automatically saved and restored.
