Need more than duplicate removal?

While this free tool handles CSV deduplication, production applications need comprehensive data onboarding infrastructure.

Beyond deduplication

Ivandt SDK provides schema-based validation, cross-field rules, data transformation pipelines, and real-time error correction - everything you need for production-grade bulk data imports.

Built for scale

Process millions of rows with client-side validation at 1M cells/sec. Embeddable UI components work in React, Vue, Angular, or vanilla JS. Configure once, reuse everywhere.

Stop rebuilding uploaders

Every app needs bulk data import. Instead of rebuilding CSV uploaders, validation logic, and error handling for each project, use Ivandt's battle-tested infrastructure.

This free tool is built and maintained by Ivandt. We believe in giving back to the developer community with useful, privacy-focused tools.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove duplicate rows from a CSV file?

Upload your CSV file, select which columns to use as keys for duplicate detection (like email or ID), configure normalization options (case-insensitive, trim spaces), and click "Remove duplicates". The tool will identify and remove duplicate rows, keeping either the first or last occurrence based on your preference.

Is this CSV duplicate remover really free?

Yes, completely free with no signup, no limits, and no hidden costs. Process files with millions of rows without any restrictions. All processing happens in your browser, so there are no server costs to pass on to you.

Is my data safe? Where is it stored?

Your data never leaves your browser. All CSV parsing, duplicate detection, and file generation happens 100% client-side using JavaScript. No data is uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for sensitive information.

What's the maximum file size I can process?

The tool can handle files up to 50MB and 2 million rows. For most CSV files, this is more than sufficient. The actual limit depends on your browser's available memory, but the tool includes safeguards to prevent crashes.

Can I remove duplicates based on multiple columns?

Yes! Select multiple columns as keys. For example, you can find duplicates where both "First Name" AND "Last Name" match, or where "Email" AND "Phone" match. This gives you precise control over what constitutes a duplicate.

What's the difference between key-based and exact-row matching?

Key-based matching compares only the columns you select (like email or ID), while exact-row matching requires all columns to be identical. Key-based is more flexible and commonly used for real-world data cleanup.

Does it handle case-sensitive duplicates?

Yes! Enable "Case insensitive" matching to treat "john@example.com" and "JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM" as duplicates. You can also enable whitespace trimming and punctuation stripping for even more flexible matching.

What formats can I download?

Download three files: (1) Deduplicated CSV with clean data, (2) Duplicates report showing removed rows with metadata, and (3) Summary JSON with statistics. All downloads preserve your original delimiter (comma, semicolon, tab, or pipe).

Common CSV duplicate removal use cases

CRM data cleanup

Remove duplicate customer records before importing into Salesforce, HubSpot, or your CRM. Match by email, phone, or custom fields.

Product catalog cleanup

Remove duplicate SKUs, product IDs, or inventory items. Keep the most recent entry or first occurrence based on your needs.

Data migration prep

Clean data before migrating between systems. Remove duplicates, validate formats, and ensure data quality for smooth migrations.

Survey response cleanup

Remove duplicate survey submissions by matching respondent email, ID, or timestamp. Keep only unique responses for accurate analysis.

Transaction deduplication
