Sort Lines for print — pages, columns, and layout estimates
Using Sort Lines to estimate how text will land on a printed page. Browser-based, free, no signup, runs entirely on your device.
Most texts you work with don't justify opening Word. Sort Lines is for the in-between cases — paste, transform, paste back. Browser-local, no signup, no character limits.
Open the tool: Sort Lines — No upload, no signup, no daily limit.
Sort Lines for print layout
Print spaces are unforgiving. A column estimate that turns into one extra line forces a layout do-over. Sort Lines gives you the count before you commit to a layout, so you can edit copy down to fit rather than re-flowing the whole document.

Frequently asked questions
Does Sort Lines save my text?
No. Sort Lines processes everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
Can Sort Lines handle non-English text?
Yes — it uses Unicode-standard rules that work for most major scripts.
Can I trust the count for assignment / SEO purposes?
Sort Lines matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.
Does Sort Lines count characters with or without spaces?
Sort Lines shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
