What Find the Min Integer can do:

This tool helps you pull the lowest value from a batch of numbers, fast. Whether you’re working with pasted spreadsheet data, API logs, or just long lists, it filters and finds the minimum cleanly.

It gives you control over what counts as a valid value, lets you strip out duplicates, and adapts to any format you’re working with all on the fly. You don’t need to sort or scan manually anymore. Just paste and go.

And because it works entirely in the browser, your data never leaves your machine.

Example:

Input:

42
7
105
3
abc
19

Output (with invalids ignored):

3

Output (without ignoring invalids):

NaN

Common Use Cases:

Use it to clean up messy input when you’re not sure what’s valid, find edge-case numbers in data exports, or just compare values at a glance. It’s especially handy for QA, math checks, or list deduping.
