How to use this text tool

  • Paste long text or paragraphs.
  • Choose word wrap, character wrap, or sentence-aware mode.
  • Set the maximum line width.
  • Run the wrapper and review overflow statistics.

What this tool does

This wrapper inserts line breaks so long paragraphs fit a chosen width while preserving paragraph boundaries and avoiding unnecessary mid-word splits when possible.

Split text into paragraphs, rebuild each line under the target width by words or characters, and calculate line length statistics.

Very long URLs or unbroken strings may exceed the selected width unless character wrapping is enabled.

Example

Sample input is included in the text box. Run the tool to see the processed output and the before/after statistics.

Use cases

  • Clean pasted code before review.
  • Normalize formatting before committing files.
  • Prepare text for editors, terminals, documentation, or data exchange.
  • Compare before and after structure using the result metrics.

Tips for better output

  • Use 72 or 80 characters for email and terminal text.
  • Use 100 or 120 characters for wider code comments.
  • Enable character wrap only when long tokens must be broken.

Processing details

The tool runs in the browser and focuses on safe whitespace, indentation, wrapping, line ending, or column formatting depending on the selected tool.

For critical code or regulated data, validate the final output with your project-specific parser, compiler, linter, or test suite.

FAQ

What wrap width is best for code comments?

Common code comment widths are 80, 100, or 120 characters depending on your team style and editor layout.

Should I wrap long paragraphs before sending email?

Wrapping can improve readability in plain text email, especially for readers using narrow windows or terminal clients.

Does wrapping change text content?

It inserts line breaks but preserves the words and paragraph order. Character wrap may split long tokens if selected.

Can URLs remain unwrapped?

Word wrap usually keeps long URLs intact, which may produce overflow lines. Character wrap can split them if required.

What is the difference between word wrap and character wrap?

Word wrap breaks lines at spaces between words, while character wrap can split text exactly at the selected width.
