About this tool
Need to know exactly how many lines a block of text takes up — for a form field with a line limit, a poem with a fixed number of verses, or a list you're about to paste somewhere with a row cap? This page opens the line counter ready for exactly that: paste your text and the total updates immediately.
The total line count follows how a text editor numbers lines, so trailing blank lines and empty lines in the middle both count — nothing is silently dropped or merged. Alongside the total you also get the non-empty line count, the blank line count, the longest line's length and the average line length, all live.
Nothing you paste here is uploaded: the count happens entirely in your browser, so drafts, private lists and unpublished text stay on your device.
Example. The text a, a blank line, then b counts as 3 lines, 2 non-empty, 1 blank, longest length 1, and average length 0.7.
Limit. A completely empty box is reported as zero lines, while a lone newline is reported as two lines, matching editor line numbering.
