FAQ
How do I convert line endings (CRLF to LF) for free?
Paste your text and choose the target — LF, CRLF or CR — and every line break is converted in your browser with no upload. Mixed endings are normalised to a single consistent style.
Why do line endings matter?
Unix and macOS use LF, Windows uses CRLF, and mismatched endings cause noisy diffs, broken scripts and the classic '^M' characters. Converting to one style fixes those.
Is my text uploaded?
No — the conversion runs locally and nothing is stored; it works offline.
Which should I use?
LF is the modern default for code and cross-platform files; use CRLF only when a Windows-specific tool requires it.
Limits
Converts the line breaks in pasted text. For whole files, most editors also have a line-ending setting.
