Remove first line
Remove the first line or first several lines from any text with a single click. Paste your content and choose how many lines to delete from the top. The tool instantly removes exactly that many lines and joins the remaining text together. Everything processes locally in your browser without uploading anything to a server.
This tool is perfect when you need to skip header lines from data files, remove unwanted introductions from pasted text, or trim leading content before processing. Set the count to 1 to remove just the first line, or increase it to strip multiple lines at once. The live tally shows how many lines came in, how many remain, and how many were removed — making it easy to verify the result at a glance.
Common use cases include cleaning up log files, removing column headers from CSV or tab-separated data, stripping copyright headers from code, or discarding metadata lines before working with the actual content. The tool respects all line ending formats (Unix LF, Windows CRLF, and old Mac CR) and normalizes them to Unix line endings in the output. Your text never leaves your device, so it is safe for private data.
