Remove Prefix from Text — Free Online Prefix Stripper

About This Free Online Remove Prefix

Our free prefix remover deletes a chosen beginning from every line of your text, stripping the same leading characters off each line at once. Paste your lines, enter the prefix to remove, and the tool cleans them all instantly, which is perfect for removing bullet characters, repeated labels, URL schemes, or any consistent start from a list. It saves you from editing each line by hand, a slow and error-prone task across a long list, and pairs neatly with a suffix remover to tidy both ends of your lines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Remove Prefix

What is the difference between per-line and entire-text mode?

Per-line mode removes the prefix from the start of each line individually. Entire-text mode removes the prefix only once from the very beginning of the whole text.

Is the matching case-sensitive?

By default the matching is case-insensitive, so "Hello" matches "hello", "HELLO", etc. Toggle the case-sensitive option for exact matching.

Why Choose the Remove Prefix?

Bulk text edits that would take ages by hand happen in one step with the Remove Prefix. It applies your changes the moment you make them, entirely in the browser, so your content stays on your device and the result is ready to copy immediately.
