Bullet List Maker

Paste your lines and get a tidy bullet list back. Each line becomes one bullet. Choose dashes, asterisks, dots, arrows or numbers, set an indent, and copy the result.

How to make a bullet list

  1. Paste or type your items, one per line.
  2. Pick a bullet style and an optional indent. Blank lines are skipped.
  3. Copy the list or download it as a text file.

Frequently asked questions

What bullet styles can I use?

Five: a dash (- ), an asterisk (* ), a round dot (• ), an arrow (→ ) and an auto-incrementing numbered list (1. 2. 3.). Pick whichever fits where you are pasting.

Will it skip empty lines?

Yes by default. Blank or whitespace-only lines are dropped so you do not get empty bullets. You can turn that off to keep the gaps if you prefer.

Do dash and asterisk bullets work in Markdown?

Yes. In Markdown both - and * start an unordered list, and 1. starts an ordered list. Add an indent to nest items under a parent.

Can I indent the whole list?

Yes. Set the indent to add that many leading spaces before every marker, which is handy for nesting lists inside another list or a code block.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The list is built entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste ever leaves your device.
