Search and replace across a whole block
Changing every instance of a word, fixing a recurring typo, or swapping a term throughout a document is slow to do by hand and easy to miss. Find and replace does it in one pass. With regular-expression support it goes further, letting you match patterns — dates, phone formats, anything with structure — rather than fixed text.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Enter what to find and what to replace it with.
- Turn on regex mode for pattern matching, or leave it off for plain text.
- Copy the updated result.
Handy patterns
- Replace multiple spaces with a single space to tidy pasted text.
- Swap a product or person's name throughout a draft.
- Use regex to reformat a list — for example, wrapping each line in quotes.

Is my text sent anywhere? No — the replacement runs entirely in your browser.
