Add Line Numbers

Use the free Add Line Numbers to prepend sequential line numbers to each line of text.

That is the whole scope of the page. It sits in Text Tools, the group for write, clean & transform text. The Add Line Numbers only does the job in that first sentence.

Add Line Numbers runs in your browser. The file or the figures stay on your device, and the free plan does not ask you to create an account.

Use it when the text is already in front of you and you need a count, a cleanup, or a different shape.

Open it when you need to prepend sequential line numbers to each line of text. If you need a different output, pick the tool whose description names that output.

Paste the passage you want changed. The tool only sees that box.

Run it once with the values you have. The result should line up with this promise: Prepend sequential line numbers to each line of text. Change one field if you want a second case, and keep the other fields the same so you can see what moved.

Scan the output against the original. A formatter can move line breaks even when the words stay the same.

Keep the units, the dates, and the file type that the form showed. A number from the Add Line Numbers is ready to copy only after you have checked it against the labels on this page.

It does not open a file on your computer until you paste or upload, and it does not guess text you left out.

Anything the description does not mention is outside this tool. Use the result as the estimate or the file this page promised, then check the source that actually applies to your bank, school, client, or project.

Other tools in Text Tools include Character Counter, Case Converter, Lorem Ipsum Generator, Remove Line Breaks, Add Page Numbers to PDF and IP Address Info & Classifier. Open the one whose description matches the next job.
