Remove unwanted words from text
The Remove Specific Words tool deletes a custom list of words from your text in a single pass. Enter the words you want gone, separated by commas or spaces, and every occurrence is removed. After removal, the tool tidies up the result by collapsing the double spaces and fixing the spacing before punctuation that deletion can leave behind, so the text reads naturally.
An optional built-in stop-word list removes very common words such as "the", "a", "and" and "of", which is useful when preparing text for keyword analysis or search indexing where these words add noise.
Clean filler and prepare text
Editors strip filler words like "just", "really" and "very" to tighten prose. Analysts remove stop words before measuring keyword frequency. Writers redact specific names or terms from a shared draft. Data workers clean recurring boilerplate out of exported text.
Whole-word matching ensures that removing "art" does not also delete the "art" inside "start" or "party", and case-insensitive matching catches every capitalisation. All processing happens locally in your browser, so your text and word list stay private.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I specify the words to remove?
Type them in the words box separated by commas or spaces. Every listed word is deleted wherever it appears in the text.
Will it accidentally remove parts of other words?
Not with whole-word matching on, which is the default. A listed word is removed only when it stands alone, leaving larger words that contain it intact.
What are stop words?
Stop words are very common words like "the", "and" and "of" that carry little meaning. The optional list removes them, which helps with keyword and frequency analysis.
Does it fix the spacing after removal?
Yes. Double spaces are collapsed and spaces left before punctuation are cleaned up, so the remaining text reads naturally.
Is the matching case sensitive?
Only if you untick "Ignore case". By default every capitalisation of a listed word is removed.
