Convert an Ordinal to a Number

Have a list of ordinals like 1st, 21st, or 111th and want to turn them back into plain numbers? The Convert an Ordinal to a Number tool handles that instantly whether it’s just one value or a whole list.

How to Use:

To get started, paste your ordinals into the input box on the left. Each one should be on its own line, like this:

1st  
2nd  
3rd  
21st

If you have a saved file, go ahead and click “Choose File” to import it. You’ll find the list of accepted file types just below the upload area formats like .txt, .csv, .json, and more are supported.

Once your ordinals are in, the tool gets to work automatically. You’ll see the corresponding numeric values appear on the right, one per line. The total count of items shows up underneath the output so you can keep track of what was processed.

Need to clean things up a bit? Use the toggles in the Options box. You can trim extra spaces, remove blank lines, or even deduplicate repeated entries with a quick flip.

Copy the result with one click or export everything to a .txt file. And if you want to start fresh, “Clear All” resets everything input, output, toggles, and counters included.

What Convert an Ordinal to a Number can do:

This tool converts ordinal words like 4th, 21st, or 213th into simple integer values. It works on single entries or entire lists, and it’s smart enough to ignore formatting issues when you enable trimming. If your list includes duplicates or blank lines, you can clean that up instantly with the toggles.

Everything updates live in your browser, so you never have to wait or reload.
