Text Line Wrapper

Wrap plain text to a chosen character width, optionally preserving input line breaks and splitting long words without breaking grapheme clusters.

These settings are optional. Keep the defaults to get started.

How to use Text Line Wrapper

  1. Paste plain text and set the target line width.
  2. Choose whether existing line breaks remain and whether long words may be split.
  3. Wrap and copy the normalized result.

Format prose for narrow plain-text contexts

The wrapper normalizes spacing between words and can keep each original line as a separate wrapping block. When preservation is disabled, nonblank lines within a paragraph are joined before wrapping. Blank paragraph boundaries remain. The tool is intended for prose, terminal notes and plain-text messages rather than source-code formatting.

Character counts are not exact terminal column widths

Modern browsers count grapheme clusters so common combined characters and emoji sequences are not split when breaking long words. Wide CJK characters and terminal-specific rendering can still occupy more than one display cell. Without long-word splitting, a single long token may exceed the target width. Input is capped at 200,000 characters for interactive wrapping.

Example input

Small tools can remove a surprising amount of repetitive work from an ordinary development day.

Will this preserve Python or YAML indentation?

No. It normalizes word spacing and line wrapping. Use a format-aware code formatter for indentation-sensitive source.
