Remove duplicate rows in CSV and Excel files

Dedupe on the exact columns that define a match — the whole row, or just an email or ID. Case and stray spaces are ignored, so near-identical rows get caught too.

Excel's "Remove Duplicates" is all-or-nothing

Excel only matches on the columns you tick, treats " Jane " and "jane" as different, and gives you no say in which copy to keep. On a big export that's a recipe for either missing dupes or deleting the wrong rows.

How Gridzu removes duplicates

Open your file and choose Clean → Remove duplicates. Pick the key columns that define a duplicate — the whole row, or just email, or first + last name. Gridzu normalizes case and trims spaces before matching, so " Jane Doe" and "jane doe" collapse into one. It's instant even on files with millions of rows.

Do it in three steps

  1. Open your CSV or Excel file — drag it onto Gridzu.
  2. Clean → Remove duplicates, and choose the columns that make a row a duplicate.
  3. Export the deduped file back out as CSV.

Need to find the same record sitting in two files instead? Use Bulk Lookup, or compare the two files directly. Working with a giant export? Gridzu also opens large CSV files without slowing down.

Nothing leaves your computer

Your file is cleaned entirely on your own machine — Gridzu never sends your data to our servers.

Removing duplicates — FAQ

How do I remove duplicate rows from a CSV file?

Open the file in Gridzu and use Clean → Remove duplicates. You can dedupe on the whole row, or pick the specific columns that define a duplicate (like email, or first name plus last name). Matching ignores surrounding spaces and case, so near-identical rows are caught too.

Can I find duplicates across multiple files?

Yes. Bulk Lookup lets you take a list of values and find every place they appear across all your tables, so you can spot the same record sitting in two different files.

Is my data uploaded?

No. Everything runs on your own computer — your data is never sent to our servers.

Is it free?

Yes. Gridzu is free to download and use on Windows and macOS.
