What Does This Tool Count?
Total lines
Every line in your text, including blank ones.
Non-empty lines
Lines that contain visible content — blank lines excluded.
Blank lines
Empty lines, or spaces-only lines when the option is on.
Longest line (chars)
Character count of the single longest line.
Avg. line (chars)
Average character count across all lines.
Total lines is the raw count including blanks. Non-empty lines tells you how many lines actually contain content. For example, a keyword list with 500 entries and 20 blank gaps shows 520 total but 500 non-empty. To remove blank lines automatically, use the Remove Blank Lines tool.
Common Uses for a Text Line Counter
Keyword Lists and URL Lists
SEO keyword exports and URL lists are almost always one item per line. Paste your list and the total line count tells you exactly how many entries you have. If you need to deduplicate the list afterwards, use the Duplicate Line Remover.
CSV Rows and Spreadsheet Data
In a CSV file, each line is one row of data. Paste your CSV and total lines gives your row count, including the header row if present. Non-empty lines excludes any blank rows. Faster than scrolling to the bottom of a spreadsheet.
Code and Log Files
Paste a script, function, or log snippet to count lines without opening an editor. The longest line stat is useful for checking line-length limits in coding style guides. For cleaning up formatting in pasted code, see the Remove Line Breaks tool.
Private Browser-Based Line Counting
This line counter runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to a server, stored, or logged. Paste sensitive content — contracts, customer data, internal exports — without concern. Close the tab and your text is gone.
