How to use Print List Statistics
- 1. Paste your list. Enter your items into the input pane, one per line. Any list you want a quick statistical summary of works here.
- 2. Read the summary report. There are no settings to configure. The output shows total items, empty items, unique items, duplicate items, the shortest and longest item, and the average item length.
- 3. Copy the report. Copy the statistics block into a note, ticket or report wherever a summary of the list's shape is needed.
When to use Print List Statistics
Print List Statistics analyzes a pasted list and reports its total count, uniqueness, blank lines and item lengths in one summary. Use it to understand the shape of a list before deciding how to clean or process it.
- Getting a quick overview before cleaning a dataset. You pasted an unfamiliar column of data and want a fast read on how many items it has, how many are duplicates, and how many are blank before deciding what cleanup is needed.
- Checking for duplicates before deduplicating. Before running a dedupe pass on a list, checking the duplicate item count here confirms whether deduplication is even necessary or how much of an effect it will have.
- Sanity-checking an import file's item lengths. An import expects items within a certain length range, and seeing the shortest and longest item in the list quickly flags whether anything is likely to fail validation.
- Reporting basic list metrics in a status update. A ticket or status update needs a quick data summary, such as total and unique item counts, and this report gives you the numbers without building a spreadsheet formula.

About the Print List Statistics tool
Print List Statistics runs as plain JavaScript in your browser tab, with no server behind it. Analyze a list and print its item statistics. Whatever you put in stays on your device from start to finish.
The tool is part of EditSafely's List Tools section, 114 single-purpose utilities built around the same idea: open the page, get the result, keep your data to yourself.
There is nothing to configure. Provide the input and the result appears on its own. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
That local-first design has practical benefits beyond privacy. The tool keeps working on a flaky connection once the page has loaded, results are instant because nothing round-trips to a server, and it is safe to use with confidential material.
Frequently asked questions
Is Print List Statistics free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
