Wrap Text

Break long paragraphs into fixed-width lines for emails, code comments or plain-text output.

How Wrap Text works

Hard-wrap paragraphs at any character width while keeping words intact, with a live preview of the wrapped result. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

Hard wrapping is not word wrapping

A word processor wraps text visually and keeps the paragraph as one long line. This tool inserts real line breaks — actual newline characters in the output — at a width you choose. Paste it into an email, a plain-text field or a terminal and it stays wrapped.

Width defaults to 80 characters, the classic terminal width. Paragraphs are detected by blank lines, so a long article is wrapped paragraph by paragraph rather than as one continuous block.

Words stay whole

The break is placed at the last space before the limit, so a word is never cut in half. That means the output lines are at most your width and usually a few characters shorter.

The one exception is a single word longer than the width — a URL, for example — which cannot be broken at a space and will overflow that line rather than being truncated.

Where this is genuinely needed

Commit messages, plain-text emails, SMS gateways, printed labels and any field that stores text without a layout engine. In those places a 3,000-character single line is unreadable no matter how it renders on your screen.

For prose destined for a web page, do not hard-wrap: the browser does it better, and inserted breaks survive copy-paste in ways that look broken.

Questions

Does it break words?

No — wrapping happens at word boundaries.

Can I keep paragraph breaks?

Yes, blank lines are preserved between paragraphs.

Does it preserve my paragraphs?

Yes — blank lines separate paragraphs, and each is wrapped independently.

Can it unwrap text?

That is the remove line breaks tool, which joins wrapped lines back together.
