About Add/Remove Line Numbers

Add line numbers to text with customizable separator and start number, or remove existing line numbers from numbered text.

How It Works

When adding numbers, each line gets a number prefix with your chosen separator. Numbers can be padded with spaces for alignment. When removing, common patterns (1. , 1: , 1) , 1\t) are detected and stripped.

Step by Step

  1. 1 Paste your text
  2. 2 Choose Add or Remove
  3. 3 For adding: set separator, start number, and padding preference
  4. 4 Click Process

Tips

  • Padded numbers align neatly for code or documentation.
  • Remove mode handles multiple numbering formats automatically.
  • Start from 0 for zero-indexed lists.
