M3U Merger
Got channels spread across two or three playlists? Paste them below and get one combined playlist back, with duplicate channels removed automatically — so you load a single clean list instead of juggling several.
Everything happens on our server in one pass. Your playlists are never saved and never shared.
How the merger works
Paste two or three playlists and the merger stacks them into one, keeping the first copy of every channel and dropping repeats along the way. Each channel stays with its name and stream — only the duplicates and the extra headers go.
Paste your playlists
Put each playlist in its own box. One is enough; up to three at a time.
We combine them
The lists are joined and duplicate channels are removed as they are found.
Copy the result
You get one clean playlist plus a count of what came from where.
Why merge playlists
- One list to load. Keep a single playlist in your player instead of several.
- Combine sources. Put your main list and a smaller extra list together.
- No repeats. Channels that appear in more than one list are kept once.
- Easier backups. A single merged file is simpler to save and reuse.
How duplicates are handled
A duplicate is a channel whose stream address already appeared earlier in the combined list. The merger keeps the first one and skips the rest, even across different playlists and even if the names differ. Two channels with the same name but different streams are both kept.
Need to tidy a single list rather than combine several? Use the M3U Playlist Cleaner instead.
What to do with the merged list
- Press copy, or select all of the result box.
- Paste it into a plain text file and save it with a
.m3uending. - Load that one file in your player.
Is this safe to use?
Yes. Merging is pure text handling and happens entirely on our own server:
Your playlists are read once to combine them, the result is shown back to you, and then they are gone. We never contact your provider and we never log what you paste.

One clean playlist is a good start — a stream that just works is the rest. See for yourself before you commit.

Questions people ask
How many playlists can I merge?
Up to three at a time. Paste each into its own box; only the first is required.
What counts as a duplicate?
A channel whose stream address already appeared in the combined list. The first is kept and the rest are skipped.
Does the order matter?
The first playlist takes priority, so its copy of a repeated channel is the one kept.
Do you keep the playlists I paste?
No. They are read once to combine them, shown back to you, and never saved or logged.
Can I merge more than three?
Merge three, copy the result, then paste it back as Playlist 1 and add more. Nothing is stored between runs.
