What This Tool Does
Paste any block of text — plain lines, numbered lists, dashed items, or a mix — and the formatter strips the existing markers, normalizes capitalization, and applies a consistent bullet style of your choice. You can choose between a bullet dot (•), a dash (–), an arrow (→), or an asterisk (*). Options to capitalize the first letter and add or remove trailing periods let you match any style guide in seconds.
How to Use
- Paste your lines or list items into the input box.
- Choose a bullet character from the options bar.
- Toggle capitalization and period options as needed.
- The formatted list updates instantly in the output panel.
- Click Copy to copy the result.

- Standardizing a mixed list that uses different dash styles
- Preparing a consistent list for a README, email, or report
- Removing trailing periods from a list where they're not needed
- Adding capitalization to all-lowercase list items pasted from a database
Frequently Asked Questions
What existing bullet formats does it recognize?
The formatter strips leading bullet characters including •, –, —, -, *, →, ►, ▶, ◦, ◆, ▪, ■, □, ●, and ○. It also removes leading numbered or lettered markers like "1.", "a)", and "I.". Any other prefix is left as-is.
Does it support nested / indented lists?
Not currently. Each line is treated as a top-level item. Indented lines will be processed, but the indentation itself is not preserved or adjusted.
Will it remove blank lines?
Yes. Blank lines between items are removed so the output is a clean, compact list.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. All formatting runs in JavaScript in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
