What is Text Unwrapper?

Copying text from PDFs often leaves you with hard line breaks in the middle of sentences, making the text hard to read or edit. This tool intelligently unwraps those broken lines: it joins single-line breaks into flowing paragraphs while preserving intentional paragraph breaks (double newlines).

You can also preserve numbered lists (like "1." and "2)") and bullet points ("-", "*", "+") so your document structure stays intact. The tool also handles hyphenated word breaks (soft- ware → software). All processing is done in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

FAQ

How does it handle hyphenated words split across lines?
The tool detects when a line ends with a hyphen and the next line starts with a lowercase letter (like soft-\nware), and joins them back into a single word.
What is the difference between this and Remove Line Breaks?
Remove Line Breaks does a simple find-and-replace on newline characters. Text Unwrapper is smarter — it preserves paragraph structure, numbered lists, and bullet lists, making it much better for documents.
Does it work with copy-paste from all PDFs?
Yes — it handles both Unix (LF) and Windows (CRLF) line endings. Results vary with the PDF quality, but most common PDF copy-paste formatting is handled correctly.
Is my text saved or uploaded?
No. All unwrapping happens in your browser with JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
