How the bullet point formatter works

  1. Paste your list — one item per line, with no bullets or numbers.
  2. Choose a bullet style and optional indentation.
  3. Copy the formatted result, ready to paste anywhere plain text is expected.

FAQ

Why use this instead of a bullet list in my word processor?

This is meant for plain-text contexts — emails, chat messages, code comments, plain-text documents — where a word processor's native bullet formatting doesn't apply or doesn't paste through cleanly. It produces literal bullet characters as part of the text itself.

Can I use emoji or symbols as bullets?

The style dropdown covers the most common plain-text bullet characters, but you can also just prepend your own symbol to each line manually before pasting it in, or edit the result after formatting.

What does the indent option do?

It adds a set number of spaces before each bullet, useful for creating a visually nested or indented look in plain text where real nested lists aren't supported.

Is my list sent anywhere?

No. Formatting happens instantly in your browser as you type — nothing is sent to Online Tool Store or stored.
