What is Text Wrapper?

The Text Wrapper lets you reformat paragraphs to a precise character width — perfect for code comments with line-length limits, plain-text emails, README files, terminal output, or any text that needs to fit a specific column.

The visual ruler shows exact column positions so you can verify your text fits. Hard wrap inserts real line breaks for use in editors and email clients. Soft wrap leaves the text unchanged but shows the ruler for visual reference. Choose from common presets or enter any custom width. All processing happens locally in your browser.

FAQ

What's the difference between hard and soft wrap?
Hard wrap inserts real newline characters at the specified width, permanently changing the text. Soft wrap shows the ruler but leaves the text unchanged — useful for checking if your text fits a target width.
Why are there specific width presets like 72 and 80?
72 characters is the traditional line length for plain-text email and Usenet posts. 80 characters is the standard terminal/console width and common code style guide limit. 40 is good for narrow columns, 60 for Markdown, and 120 for modern wide monitors.
Does it respect word boundaries?
Yes, by default. The tool wraps at word boundaries to keep text readable. Enable 'Break long words' to force strict character-width wrapping when needed.
Is my text uploaded?
No. All wrapping happens in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
