Find and Replace Text
Paste your text, type what to find and what to replace it with. This find and replace text tool is a literal word replacer: it matches your exact text, including capitalization, and changes nothing else. Use Find next to step through matches, Replace next for one at a time, or Replace all — then Undo if you change your mind. Everything runs locally; replace text online without your text leaving the browser.
Exact text, including capitalization
Find next, Replace next, Replace all
Find next steps through each occurrence of your exact search text, selecting it in the editor and wrapping around after the last one. Replace next changes only the current match and jumps to the following one; Replace all changes every occurrence at once, left to right. Matching is literal and case-sensitive: «Alpha» does not match «alpha», and special characters like $ or backslashes are treated as plain text — this is exact replacement, not rewriting, regex or synonym substitution. Processing is local to your browser; nothing is sent or saved.
Job-specific finish: renaming a term across a whole document
Paste your draft, type the exact old term in Find and the new one in Replace, then use Replace all to change every occurrence in one pass — this is the fastest path for a one-time rename (a product name, a person's title, a recurring typo). Use Find next/Replace next instead when only SOME occurrences should change (skip the ones that don't apply) and you want to review each match before committing. Undo restores the editor to its state before your last action, so a Replace all you regret is one click to reverse — but only the LAST action, not a full history.
Is this the same as rewriting or paraphrasing?
No. A text replacer changes exactly the characters you specify and nothing else — it never rephrases, fixes grammar, or picks synonyms. If you want rewriting, use the paraphrasing tool; use find and replace when you need a precise, predictable change such as renaming a term across a document.
What does Undo restore?
Undo restores the editor to exactly how it was before your latest replacement action (Replace next or Replace all) — one level. Making another replacement replaces the snapshot, so undo the last action first if you need it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Finding and replacing happens entirely in your browser. Your text, search term and replacement are never sent to a server, stored, or added to the address bar.
Can I find and replace using a pattern, like any digit or any word?
No — matching is literal text only, never a regex or wildcard pattern. If you need pattern-based matching (e.g. any 4-digit year), you'll need a different tool; this one trades pattern power for predictability — what you type is exactly what it looks for.
