How it works
Convert in three steps

Paste your content

Add any multi-line text — a list, a code file, a CSV export, or a document.

Choose counting options

Toggle whether to count empty lines, and whether to show line numbers alongside the content.

Copy the line count

See total lines (with and without empty lines) and copy the numbered version if needed.

FAQ
Common questions

A line is any sequence of characters followed by a newline character. An empty line (just a newline with no preceding characters) counts as a line by default but can be excluded with the toggle. The final line of text without a trailing newline still counts as a line.

Total lines counts every line including blank lines. Non-empty lines counts only lines that contain at least one character. The difference between the two numbers tells you how many blank lines are in the content — useful for files with inconsistent spacing or CSV exports with empty rows.

Line counting is useful for: checking the line count of a code file or script, counting items in a list (one item per line), verifying CSV row counts, checking that a data export has the expected number of records, and splitting a large list to confirm it has the right number of entries before processing.

No. Line counting runs in your browser. Content is never transmitted to any server.

About the Line Counter

Line count is the fundamental measure of list and data size — how many records in a CSV, how many URLs in a crawl export, how many items in a keyword list, how many lines in a code file. This counter handles all the edge cases that come up in practice: empty line exclusion, trailing newline handling, and optional line-number display for content that will be referenced by line number in a review or audit. It’s a simple tool that solves a precise problem — knowing exactly how many lines are in a block of content.
