📖 Tool Introduction
The Line Number Tool is a free, instant online helper that adds line numbers to multi-line text in one click, or strips them off cleanly when you no longer need them — a practical companion for reading long code, printing documents, marking up essays and arranging lists. Paste your text into the box, choose Add line numbers or Remove line numbers, and the tool processes each line immediately. When adding numbers, every line gets a neatly aligned index on its left so you can easily reference “line 12” and the like; when removing them, the tool automatically recognises common numbering styles (digits followed by a dot, a colon, a space and so on) and deletes them, giving you back the clean original text. The result can be copied in one click for direct use in your editor, document or chat window. All processing happens locally in the browser — nothing is uploaded, so your privacy is safe. The interface is minimal, supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English following the website language, and runs smoothly on desktop and mobile alike. Whether you are a developer pinpointing a line in an error log, a teacher annotating an essay line by line, an editor numbering a manuscript, or someone numbering a checklist, this tool makes the job effortless.
