Transform Your Lists with the Online Text Formatter
Organizing data manually is error-prone and slow. Whether you have a list of 500 email addresses that need to be sorted alphabetically, or a checklist that needs numbering, doing it line-by-line is impossible.
The ToolOnWeb Text Formatter is designed for speed. It allows you to manipulate the structure of your text instantly. From sorting and shuffling to adding bulk prefixes (like code snippets) to every line, this tool handles the heavy lifting for you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I remove the line numbers after adding them?
Yes. If you have a numbered list (e.g., “1. Apple”), simply click the “Remove Numbers” button. The tool intelligently detects the number pattern at the start of the line and strips it away.
How does the “Prefix/Suffix” feature work?
This adds specific text to the beginning (prefix) or end (suffix) of every single line. This is incredibly useful for programmers wrapping data in quotes or HTML tags.
Does “Sort Lines” handle numbers correctly?
The sort function uses “Alphabetical Sort” (Lexicographical). This means “10” might come before “2” because “1” comes before “2”. It is best used for text and names.
Is the Shuffle feature truly random?
Yes. We use the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm, which is the industry standard for generating a fair and completely random permutation of your list elements.
Is my data private?
Yes. Like all tools on ToolOnWeb, this runs 100% in your browser. We do not see, store, or upload your data.
