Free Online Find and Replace Tool
Find and replace locates every occurrence of a search string and substitutes it with a replacement — for both literal strings and regular expressions.
Your data is processed entirely in your browser and never sent to any server.
How to Use This Text Tool
- Paste your source text into the input field.
- Type the string or regex pattern to find.
- Type the replacement string (use $1, $2 for regex capture groups).
- Toggle regex mode and case sensitivity as needed.
- Read the updated text in the output panel and click Copy.
What Is a Find and Replace?
Most text editors have find-and-replace built in, but pasting into a dedicated tool is often faster when the source is a copied chat log, a webhook body or a snippet you do not want to save to a file. It is also useful for one-off transformations that do not justify writing a script.
The tool supports literal matching, regex matching with capture-group references in the replacement (`$1`, `$2`), and case-sensitive or case-insensitive modes. The output panel shows the transformed text and a count of how many substitutions were made.
Everything runs in your browser, so the source text — even sensitive logs or contracts — never leaves your device.
