What would you like to do next?
Add line numbers to your text
Paste text or a list above and press Apply to add a sequential number to the start of every line, like 1. 2. 3. and so on. This turns a plain list into a numbered list, which is useful for steps, references, rankings and quick line citations. The numbering runs entirely in your browser.
How the numbering works
Numbers count from one and increase by one per line, including blank lines, so the count matches the rows in your text.
Frequently asked questions
What format are the numbers?
Each line is prefixed with its number followed by a dot and a space, such as 1. and 2.
Does it number blank lines too?
Yes. Every line gets the next number so the count stays in step with the rows.
