Find & Replace

Find Text and Replace It Online — Free

This free online tool lets you find text and replace it across your whole document in one click. Whether you need to find text and swap a single word, run a quick find replace, do a bulk text find and replace across thousands of lines, or use online regex replace for pattern-based edits, paste your content into the box above and get instant results.

Unlike Ctrl + H in Word or Excel, this find and replace tool handles regular expressions, replacing multiple different words at once, whole-word matching, and entire text files — all in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Advanced Find and Replace for Text Processing

Our Find and Replace tool goes beyond simple text substitution. With support for regular expressions, case-sensitive matching, whole word search, and batch replacements, you can perform complex text transformations in seconds. Whether you're cleaning data, refactoring code, or editing documents, this tool handles it all with precision.

All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy for sensitive documents. No data is ever sent to servers, and you can work offline after loading the page. Process files up to 50MB with instant results.

Replace Multiple Words Online — on Mobile, Laptop or Tablet

Sometimes you just need to swap one word for another across a long block of text — a name that changed, a date, or a misspelling repeated dozens of times. Doing it by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. This free online find and replace tool changes every match in a single click, and it runs in any browser — desktop, laptop, Android phone, iPhone, or tablet — with nothing to install and no signup.

People use it to replace multiple words at once, fix a repeated typo across a whole document, swap commas for new lines, clean up data before importing into Excel or Google Sheets, or rename variables in code. Turn on Regex for pattern-based replacement, Case for case-sensitive matching, or Whole Word so searching "cat" never touches "category". Because everything runs in your browser, your text stays private on your device and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.

It works fully on mobile: open the page in your phone's browser, paste your text, type the word to find and the word to replace, and tap Replace All — the same experience as on a laptop, with no app to download. A handy alternative when you need find and replace but don't have Microsoft Word or a desktop open.

Common Use Cases

How to Find and Replace in Word, Google Docs, Excel & More

Every major editor has a built-in find and replace feature. In almost all of them the shortcut is the same: press Ctrl + H on Windows or ⌘ Cmd + Shift + H on a Mac to open the Replace dialog. Below is exactly where to find it in each program — or skip the app entirely and paste your text into the tool above for regex, bulk, and whole-word replacements that Word and Excel can't do.

How to Find and Replace in Microsoft Word

1. Open your document and press Ctrl + H (Windows) or ⌘ + Shift + H (Mac). You can also click Home → Replace in the top-right of the ribbon.
2. Type the word or phrase to find in Find what, and the new text in Replace with.
3. Click Replace All to change every match at once, or Replace to step through them one by one.
4. Click More >> for advanced options: Match case, Find whole words only, and Use wildcards for pattern-based replacements.

How to Find and Replace in Google Docs

1. Open the document and press Ctrl + H (or ⌘ + Shift + H on Mac), or go to Edit → Find and replace.
2. Enter the text to find and the replacement text.
3. Tick Match case or Match using regular expressions if needed, then click Replace all.

How to Find and Replace in Excel

1. Select the range (or the whole sheet), then press Ctrl + H to open Find and Replace.
2. Enter the value in Find what and the new value in Replace with, then click Replace All.
3. Click Options for Match case, Match entire cell contents, and wildcards: use * for any number of characters and ? for a single character. To replace a literal asterisk, type ~*.

How to Find and Replace in Notepad

1. Open the file in Notepad and press Ctrl + H.
2. Enter the find and replace text and click Replace All. Notepad++ adds regex and case-sensitive options in the same dialog.

Find and Replace in a PDF

PDFs are not directly editable, so there is no universal find-and-replace shortcut. Use Adobe Acrobat Pro (Edit PDF → Find, then Replace With) or copy the PDF text, paste it into the tool above, run your replacements, and paste the result back. For scanned PDFs you'll need OCR first.

Need more than any of these can do? The find and replace tool at the top of this page handles what Word and Excel struggle with: regex patterns, replacing multiple different words at once, whole-word matching, live match counts, and processing whole text files — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
