Tools for writing and editing
Count lines in text with live updates.
Line Counter is an online tool that counts the number of lines in your text as you type or paste.
A line is any run of text ending with a newline, or the last segment of text if it has no trailing newline. Empty input shows zero lines. This tool is useful for code, logs, CSV data, lists, or any content where line count matters.
Developers, writers, and data users rely on line counts to check file size, meet submission limits, or verify log or list length.
1. Type or paste your text into the input area above.
2. The line count updates automatically as you edit—no button to click.
3. Each line break (Enter) starts a new line. The last line counts even if it has no newline at the end.
4. Empty or whitespace-only input shows 0 lines. To count words or characters instead, use the Word Counter or Character Counter.
5. Copy or export your text as needed; the tool does not store or send your content anywhere.
Three lines
Line one Line two Line three
Single line (no newline)
Hello world
Code snippet
function hello() {
console.log('hi');
}Count lines when: checking how many entries are in a list or CSV, verifying log or output length, meeting a line-limit requirement, or estimating file or snippet size.
Many APIs or tools report or limit by line count. This tool helps you quickly see the number of lines without opening a separate editor or script.
For word or character limits (e.g. essays, tweets), use the Word Counter or Character Counter instead.
