Add Line Numbers

Prefix every line with a sequential number.

How to use the Add Line Numbers

  1. 1 Paste your text — each line will be numbered.
  2. 2 Set the starting number and the separator (e.g. ". ").
  3. 3 Optionally zero-pad the numbers or skip blank lines, then copy.

Examples

  • Turning a plain list into a numbered, step-by-step list.
  • Numbering log lines or quiz questions.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start numbering from a number other than 1?

Yes. Set any starting value — useful when you are continuing a list from an earlier section.

What does "pad with zeros" do?

It pads numbers to equal width (01, 02 … 10) so the list lines up neatly in monospaced fonts and sorts correctly.
