How does the line counter work?

It counts every line break in your text, including empty lines. Each time you press Enter creates a new line that is counted.

Does it count empty lines?

Yes — empty lines are counted by default. Use our Empty Line Remover tool first if you want to count only lines with content.

Can I use this to count rows in a CSV?

Yes — paste your CSV content and the line count tells you exactly how many rows you have (subtract 1 for the header row).

Is there a line limit?

No. Paste text with thousands of lines — the counter handles it all instantly in your browser.

Is my text private?

Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded.
