Numbering lines puts a sequential number in front of every line of your text, the way a code editor or a printed listing shows line numbers. This tool adds 1, 2, 3 and so on before each line, separated by a tab, so the numbers line up and the original text stays intact after them.

Numbered lines are handy for referring to a specific line in a discussion, preparing a numbered list, reviewing a log or a script, or quoting a passage by line. The text is processed exactly as pasted, and blank lines are numbered too.

Everything runs entirely locally in your browser (no upload, even offline) - your text never leaves your device. The numbering starts at 1 and increases by one for every line; nothing else about the text is changed.

The number is separated from the content by a tab - so the result pastes straight into a spreadsheet, with number and line landing cleanly in two columns. And when a review or an e-mail refers to "line 42", everyone finally means the same spot.

FAQ

Is my text uploaded?

No. The numbering runs entirely locally in your browser - even offline. Your text never leaves your device.

How are the number and text separated?

By a tab, so the numbers align in a column and the original line follows unchanged.

Are blank lines numbered too?

Yes. Every line gets a number, including empty ones, so the count matches the real line positions.

Where does the numbering start?

At 1, increasing by one for each following line.
