Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask most about CSV Deduplicator

How does deduplication work?

The tool compares rows based on selected columns. When two or more rows have identical values in those columns, only the first occurrence is kept.

Can I deduplicate by specific columns?

Yes, select any combination of columns for comparison. For example, deduplicate by email only while keeping different names.

Which duplicate is kept?

The first occurrence (earliest in the file) is kept, and subsequent duplicates are removed.

Does CSV deduplication upload my data?

Deduplication runs in your browser for this operation. The selected or pasted CSV is processed locally to identify duplicate rows.

Is there a row limit?

No hard limit. The tool runs in your browser, so performance depends on your device. Files with tens of thousands of rows work smoothly.

Does it handle case sensitivity?

The comparison is case-sensitive by default, 'John' and 'john' are treated as different values.

Why were two similar rows not treated as duplicates?

Rows only match when the selected comparison columns have the same values. Differences in case, spaces, punctuation, or hidden characters can make rows count as unique.

Can I preview duplicates before removing them?

Yes, the tool shows you exactly how many duplicates were found and lets you preview the cleaned data before downloading, so you always stay in control.
