Pro Tips

  • Breaks are only inserted between words, never in the middle of a word, so wrapped text stays readable
  • Lines already shorter than your chosen width are left untouched
  • Existing line breaks in your input are preserved - each original line is wrapped independently
  • Useful for preparing text for terminals, fixed-width labels, or old-school 80-column displays

Most Popular

Most users wrap at 60-80 characters per line, matching traditional terminal and email line-length conventions

When to Use This Tool

Formatting Text for Fixed-Width Displays

Wrap text to fit a terminal, label printer, or other fixed-width output.

Preparing Text for Print or Labels

Break long lines before printing so text doesn't get cut off.

Wrapping Long Log Lines

Make long log entries easier to read by wrapping them at a set width.

Email & Plain Text Formatting

Wrap paragraphs to a traditional line length for plain-text emails.

How It Works

Split the input into its existing lines

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this cut a word in half?

No, breaks are only inserted between words. If a single word is longer than your chosen width, it's kept whole on its own line rather than being split.

What happens to existing line breaks?

They're preserved - each line in your original text is wrapped independently, so paragraph structure is maintained.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. Wrapping happens entirely in your browser.

What width should I use?

60-80 characters is a common default for readability, matching traditional terminal and email conventions, but you can set any width you need.

Can I use this for code?

It's designed for plain text wrapping. Wrapping code this way may break syntax, since it doesn't understand code structure.
