    Find and replace is one of the most common text chores: swapping a term throughout, unifying a spelling or filling a placeholder everywhere with the same value. This tool replaces every match in your text at once - not just the first - and returns the result instantly.

    By default the search is literal: special characters like dot or bracket count as that character itself. If you need more control, switch on the regular expression and you can work with patterns and refer to captured groups via $1, $2 in the replacement. Optionally you can ignore case, so differently spelled matches are caught too.

    The whole replacement runs entirely locally in your browser in pure JavaScript - your text is not uploaded, not stored, and no foreign library is loaded from a CDN. If a pattern marked as a regular expression is invalid, the tool says so honestly instead of inventing a wrong result.

    In 3 steps

    1. Paste the text into the text field.
    2. Enter the search term and replacement, optionally set regex or "ignore case".
    3. Read the result or download it as a text file.

    Limitations: All matches are always replaced (global). In regex mode the JavaScript syntax (ECMAScript) applies; an invalid pattern leads to an honest error. In literal mode the dollar sign stays a normal character in the replacement. Very large texts are limited by your device memory.

    FAQ

    Is my text uploaded?

    No. The replacement runs entirely locally in your browser; your text never leaves your device and is not stored.

    Are all matches replaced or only the first?

    All of them. The search is always global, so every match in the text is replaced.

    What does regex mode do?

    It allows search patterns instead of fixed text, and backreferences with $1, $2 to captured groups in the replacement. Without regex the search is literal.

    What happens with an invalid pattern?

    In regex mode the tool reports an honest error instead of producing a wrong result. Check the brackets and escapes in the pattern.
