Clean before numbering
Run Trim Lines, Remove Empty Lines, or Remove Duplicate Lines before adding numbers to a messy list.
Undo numbering later
If a copied list already has prefixes, switch to Remove Line Numbers before sorting, joining, or comparing the text.
Reshape numbered lists
After numbering, use Prefix / Suffix Lines, Sort Lines Alphabetically, or Line Counter when the list needs another pass.

Can I choose the starting line number?
Yes. Set a custom start value and step size when you need numbering to continue from another document or checklist.
Can I skip empty lines?
Yes. Turn off Number empty lines to leave blank rows untouched without advancing the counter.
Does this upload my text?
No. Line numbering runs locally in your browser and does not send pasted text to ClearUtils servers.
