Bulk Word Replacer
Paste a block of text and set up as many find-and-replace rules as you need, then apply them all together in a single left-to-right pass. Because the swaps happen at once, a word one rule produces is never picked up and changed again by a later rule. Optional whole-word and ignore-case switches let you tighten or loosen how each term is matched.
How to replace multiple words at once
- Paste the text you want to edit into the 'Your text' box.
- Fill a rule row: type the term to look for under Find and its replacement under Replace with.
- Click '+ Add rule' for more swaps, or the cross button to remove a row you do not need.
- Tick 'Whole word only' or 'Ignore case' if you want stricter or looser matching.
- Read the edited text in the Result box and click Copy.
Examples
Swap several terms in one go
The cat sat on the mat.
The dog lay on the rug.
Rules do not chain: a produced word is left alone
apple banana
banana cherry
Whole word only spares longer words
cat category cats
dog category cats
Frequently asked questions
Are all the rules applied at the same time?
Yes. Every rule runs together in one left-to-right pass, so text that one rule inserts is never re-matched by another rule. Setting apple to banana and banana to cherry turns apple banana into banana cherry, not cherry cherry, because the freshly written banana is skipped.
What does the 'Whole word only' option do?
It anchors each term to word boundaries, so a match only counts when it stands alone rather than sitting inside a longer word. With it on, replacing cat changes cat but leaves the cat inside category untouched.
What does 'Ignore case' change?
It makes the search match any letter case, so a rule for cat will also catch Cat and CAT. The replacement is inserted exactly as you typed it, so the tool does not try to copy the original capitalisation onto the new word.
Do special characters in the Find field need escaping?
No. Search terms are matched literally, so you can look for things like C++, $5.00, (note) or a.b without escaping the dots, brackets, or symbols. The tool handles the escaping internally.
If two rules could match the same spot, which one wins?
The longer search term takes priority at each position. If you have a rule for foo and another for foobar, the text foobar is replaced by the foobar rule rather than being partly changed by the foo rule.
How many rules can I add?
There is no set limit. Click '+ Add rule' as many times as you need, and the counter next to the rules shows how many are currently active, meaning they have a non-empty Find term.
Does an empty Find field do anything?
No. A rule with a blank Find term is ignored, so leftover empty rows never affect the output. Only rows with something in the Find field are applied.
Can I use it to delete words rather than replace them?
Yes. Leave the Replace with field empty and the matched term is removed from the text. Combine that with 'Whole word only' to strip a specific word without cutting it out of longer words.
Is my text kept private?
Yes. All the matching and replacing happens in your browser, so the text and your rule list are never uploaded to a server.
