Pro Tips
- •A blank line still counts as a line, so an empty line between paragraphs adds to the total
- •The count updates live as you type or paste, so you can watch it change in real time
- •Useful for quickly checking how many items are in a pasted list, one per line
- •This counts line breaks, not visual wrapped lines - a long line that wraps in your editor still counts as one line here

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a blank line count?
Yes, every line break creates a new line in the count, even if that line is empty.
Does this count wrapped lines in my editor?
No, it counts actual line breaks (new line characters), not how many visual lines your text wraps to on screen.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser.
Is there a line limit for this tool?
No, you can paste text with any number of lines.
Can I use this to count list items?
Yes, as long as each item is on its own line, the line count will match your item count.
