Text to List Converter

About this tool

This tool adds a list marker in front of each line of your text. Choose a dash, a bullet point, an asterisk or numbers. Each line is trimmed of spaces at both ends and empty lines are dropped, so the output has no gaps. The input needs one item per line. The tool does not split comma-separated text, so to turn a comma-separated list into lines, split it first with the Text Separator. The output is plain text, so it can be pasted into Markdown, chat or documents. Everything runs in your browser.

How to use it

1. Paste your items, one per line.
2. Pick a marker: dash, bullet, star or numbered.
3. Press Copy to use the list.

Example

apple
banana

cherry

3. cherry

Common problems

My comma-separated list is not split

Only line breaks are used to find items. Split commas into lines first with the Text Separator.

Blank lines were removed

Empty lines are dropped, and numbering continues with no gaps.

Nested lists are not created

Every line gets the same marker, and leading indentation is removed.
