It adds a consistent marker to each item after optional trimming and blank-line cleanup.

List formatting
Turn copied rows, keywords, tasks, notes, or short values into a bullet list.
Style options
Choose dash, asterisk, or numbered output depending on where the list will be pasted.
Reverse workflow
Use this with the remove bullets tool when moving between plain lists and formatted list text.
Browser processing
The current version runs in your browser and does not require an account.
How to use it
- Paste a plain list with one item per line.
- Choose trimming, blank-line removal, and bullet style.
- Run the tool to create bullet points.
- Copy or download the formatted list.
Privacy, review, and limitations
The current version processes pasted text in your browser for normal use, and the page explains the tool behavior that is visible in the interface. Review the preview before copying output into another workflow, especially when the source text came from PDFs, spreadsheets, exports, or copied tables.
This tool creates plain text bullet markers, not rich text formatting.
It does not create nested bullet levels or preserve indentation hierarchy.

Yes. Choose dash bullets, asterisk bullets, or numbered list output.
Can it remove blank lines?
Yes. Keep remove empty lines enabled to skip blank rows before creating bullets.

Reviewed behavior
Examples, options, and limitations are checked against the actual tool behavior before public pages are added to the site.
Human review still matters
Text cleanup can miss source-specific issues such as broken words, malformed data, or copied table artifacts, so review important output before reuse.
Safe use checklist
- Use sample or non-sensitive text when testing a workflow.
- Check the output preview before copying it into another system.
- Keep confidential, regulated, or customer data inside approved tools.
- Use related tools only when they match the same cleanup task, not to force unrelated edits.
