Live numbered output

Simple = 1. 2. style. Padded = zero-padded width (e.g. 01. ) so columns line up in monospace. A trailing newline creates one more numbered row—same as most editors.

Why number lines here

Slack, email, and tickets love “see line 12” references—but your source might be a quick paste. This page shows exactly how many lines you have, flags blank rows, and keeps the output in a copy box so you ship the same string you previewed.

How it works

  1. Paste or type with one row per line, or use Load sample. The live numbered output updates on every keystroke (sticky on wide screens).
  2. Toggle Simple vs Padded when you need aligned indices for long files.
  3. Use the gray What this means / Next box, then Copy numbered text.

Privacy: Numbering is designed to run in your browser. We do not store your paste on our servers.

FAQ

  • Why is there an extra empty numbered line? A trailing newline at the end of your paste creates one more row—like an empty last line in an editor.
  • Simple vs padded? Simple is shortest; padded widens indices with leading zeros so 9. and 10. align visually.
  • Does Copy include the stats tiles? No—only the numbered text in the output box.
  • Can I use it on mobile? Yes—the layout stacks; paste and copy the same way as desktop.
  • What does Load sample do? It fills a short multi-line example (including a blank row) so you can see numbering and stats before pasting your own text.
