Find and Replace - Change Words in Bulk

In short: the Find and Replace tool swaps every occurrence of a word or phrase in your text for another, in one pass, and tells you exactly how many replacements it made.

A name spelled two ways through a whole document, a product renamed at the last minute, 'Rs.' that must become 'PKR' everywhere - fixing these by hand is slow and error-prone. Type the old text, type the new text, and replace all at once.

Private by design: everything in this tool happens 100% in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to a server, never stored and never seen by us - close the tab and everything is gone.

How to use the Find and Replace

  1. Paste your text into the big box.
  2. Type what to find and what to replace it with - leave 'Replace with' empty to simply delete every occurrence.
  3. Choose options if needed, then click Replace All. The status line confirms the exact count.

How it works

In normal mode the tool treats your search text literally - dots, brackets and other special characters are just characters. Case-sensitive matching compares letters exactly; whole-word mode only matches where the text is bounded by spaces or punctuation, so replacing 'cat' never touches 'category'. Pattern mode (regular expressions) is for advanced users: your pattern is compiled as-is, so things like \d+ can match every number in the text. The count is measured before replacing, so the report is always honest.

Worked example

A school notice says 'Mr. Ahmad' in 7 places but the name is 'Mr. Ahmed'. Find 'Ahmad', replace with 'Ahmed', click Replace All - the status confirms '7 replacements made', and no other word in the notice was touched.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is find and replace free here?

Yes - free, no sign-up, no text-length limit beyond your device.

Can I delete words everywhere at once?

Yes - leave the 'Replace with' box empty and every occurrence is removed.

What does 'whole words only' protect against?

It stops partial matches: replacing 'art' will not alter 'start' or 'article'.

What is pattern (regex) mode?

An advanced mode where your search is a regular-expression pattern - for example \d+ finds every number. If a pattern is invalid, the tool shows an error instead of guessing.

Is my text uploaded?

No - all replacing happens in your browser.
