How to use this text tool

  • Paste text with unwanted line breaks.
  • Choose paragraph, aggressive, or conservative mode.
  • Enable hyphen recovery for copied PDF text.
  • Run the unwrapper and review paragraph count.

What this tool does

This tool repairs text that was wrapped too narrowly by replacing unnecessary single line breaks with spaces while keeping paragraph breaks intact.

Group lines into paragraphs, detect list-like lines, optionally recover hyphenated line breaks, merge ordinary wrapped lines, and report removed breaks.

Tables, poems, code, and logs often rely on line structure. Use conservative mode for those inputs.

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 conservative mode when text contains lists.
  • Use aggressive mode for PDF paragraphs with many artificial breaks.
  • Do not unwrap source code or tabular data.

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

How do I remove unwanted line breaks from copied text?

Paste the text and run the unwrapper to merge single line breaks while preserving blank-line paragraph breaks.

Can this fix copied PDF text?

Yes. It is designed for PDF-style copy issues where each visual line becomes a separate text line.

Does it recover hyphenated words split across lines?

When hyphen recovery is enabled, patterns such as “exam-\nple” are joined into “example”.

Will bullet lists stay unchanged?

Conservative mode and list preservation help keep bullet, numbered, and checklist lines separate.

Can it repair OCR text automatically?

It can clean many OCR-style line breaks, but severe recognition errors may still need manual editing.
