What does Length-Prefix Encode do?

Prefixes each line with its character length and a colon. Paste your lines on the left and NMSnabbit instantly shows the length-prefixed on the right. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, so it stays private and works offline. You can process several values at once and copy the result with one click.

How to use the Length-Prefix Encode

  1. 1 Type or paste your lines into the input box.
  2. 2 The length-prefixed appears instantly in the output box as you type.
  3. 3 Enter several values separated by spaces or new lines to process them at once.
  4. 4 Click “Copy output” to copy the result.

What you can use it for

  • Quickly prefixes each line with its character length and a colon without installing anything.
  • Checking results while learning or teaching how lines and length-prefixed relate.
  • Preparing or debugging data for programming, electronics or homework.
  • Working privately when the data shouldn't be uploaded to a server.
