Frequently asked questions
How do I count lines in text?
Every line break starts a new line. Lines with only spaces are counted as blank lines, and lines with any other text are counted as non-empty lines. Use it to count lines online in any pasted text.
Does the last line count if it has no line break?
Yes. The final line counts even without a line break at the end. An empty input has zero lines.
What counts as a blank line?
Any line that is empty or holds only spaces or tabs. Lines with any visible character count as non-empty.
Can I count lines in code files?
Yes. Paste code or CSV text and the tool counts every line, including blank lines and comment lines. Each CSV row counts as one line.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All counting runs in your browser with JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits.
