Tips & Tricks

  • ✓Put one item per line before pasting for the cleanest conversion — the tool splits on line breaks.
  • ✓Blank lines in your input are automatically skipped, so you don't need to clean those up first.
  • ✓Use "Comma List" to quickly turn a column of items into an inline, comma-separated sentence.
  • ✓Paste the copied output directly into a word processor, which will typically auto-format bullet and numbered lists further.
