How to use

Select the required line-ending format, convert, and use the download when exact bytes matter. The output preview may look unchanged because browser textareas normalize displayed line breaks.

Input
alpha beta gamma
Output
alpha beta gamma

Limitations

The tool converts newline characters in text; it does not detect a target operating system or preserve a mixture. The browser preview is not proof of downloaded line-ending bytes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does CRLF look the same as LF in the result?

Browser text controls render and may normalize line endings. Download the generated file when the exact characters matter.

Does conversion change the text encoding?

The download is text/plain with UTF-8. Only newline characters are changed; other text is retained.
