Add Line Numbers to Text
Add a number to the start of every line, so a list or block of text can be referenced easily.
Something to point at
Numbered lines make a text easy to talk about: see line seven means something specific. Adding numbers by hand is tedious and breaks the moment you insert a line, so this does it automatically — every line gets its number, renumbering cleanly however long the text is.
Paste your text and each line comes back numbered.
Where numbered lines help
They are useful any time you need to reference or count lines: reviewing a list with someone, quoting a specific line back, checking how many entries you have, or presenting steps in order. If you need control over how the numbering looks — a custom starting number, a particular separator, padding so the numbers line up — the flexible numbering tool gives you those options; this is the quick, straightforward version.
Questions & answers
Does it renumber automatically?
Yes. Every line is numbered in sequence, however long the text.
Can I customise the numbering format?
For a custom start number, separator or padding, use the flexible line numberer; this adds plain sequential numbers.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The numbering happens in your browser.
