It works with any pasted or typed text, counts blank lines the same as any other line, and never modifies what you paste.

Features
Instant Line Count
The number of lines updates live as you type or paste — there's nothing to click or run.
Counts Blank Lines Too
A blank line between two paragraphs counts as its own line, exactly like any line with text on it.
Supports Every Line Ending
Unix (LF), Windows (CRLF), and old Mac (CR) line endings are all recognized correctly, with CRLF always counted as a single line break.
Never Modifies Your Text
This is a counting tool only — your input is never trimmed, reformatted, or changed in any way.
100% Private
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste or type your text into the Input box, and the Lines statistic updates instantly — there's no button to click or file to upload.

Line count measures how many lines your text is split into by line breaks, while word count measures how many words it contains regardless of how they're arranged across those lines. A single line can hold many words, so the two numbers are usually very different — this tool shows both side by side.
