Wrap or unwrap text to a custom character width. Perfect for code comments, emails, and terminal formatting.
How It Works - Paste your text and set the maximum line width. The tool wraps long lines at the specified column without breaking words. Adjust wrap width and see instant results.
No. The word wrap tool wraps text at whole word boundaries — words are never split across lines. This makes the output clean and readable for any purpose.
Set any width from 1 to 999 characters. Common presets include 80 characters (terminal/code), 60 characters (email), and 40 characters (Twitter.
Yes. Paste wrapped text and click "Unwrap" — the tool removes existing line breaks to produce a single continuous paragraph.
Yes. The word wrap tool respects spaces and tabs in your text, making it suitable for wrapping code comments and documentation to a consistent column width.
Using the word wrap tool is straightforward. Paste or type your text into the input area and set your desired line width using the width control — 80 characters is the standard for code and terminal output. Click "Wrap Text" to format your text to the specified column width. The tool automatically breaks lines at word boundaries, so no words are split in the middle. If you have text that is already wrapped and want to rejoin it into a single paragraph, simply click "Unwrap." Use the Copy button to save the result to your clipboard, or click Clear to start fresh. The live statistics show your character count, line count, and maximum line length in real time.
Code comments and documentation: Keep code comments at 80 characters to follow style guides like PEP 8. This prevents horizontal scrolling in terminal editors and makes code reviews easier for your team.
Email formatting: Many email clients display text best at 60 to 72 characters per line. Use this tool to format your email body text before pasting it into your email client for clean presentation and readability.
Terminal and CLI output: When preparing text for terminal display, wrapping at 80 columns ensures readability without unexpected line breaks that disrupt the output layout and formatting.
Plain text documents: Format readme files, release notes, or documentation to a consistent column width for clean display in any text editor, terminal, or code review tool.
For code, always use 80 characters unless your project specifies otherwise — this is the universal standard and ensures your code looks good in any editor and on any platform. When wrapping text for social media, use 40 characters for Twitter posts to avoid truncation in previews. If you are working with tab-indented code, note that each tab counts as a single character, so you may need to adjust your width setting accordingly. Use the Unwrap feature to clean up text that has been copy-pasted from PDFs or emails with inconsistent line breaks before reformatting it to your desired width.
No, words are kept intact and only broken at word boundaries.
Eighty characters is the standard width for code editors and terminal windows. It ensures readability without horizontal scrolling and is widely adopted in programming style guides.
Since the tool wraps at word boundaries, a single word or URL that exceeds the maximum line width will remain on its own line and extend beyond the limit. This preserves the integrity of URLs and compound terms. For better results with long URLs, consider using a URL shortener before wrapping.
Yes. The word wrap tool preserves all spaces and tabs in your text, including leading whitespace for indented paragraphs and code blocks. Each line is wrapped independently, so indented sections maintain their visual structure after wrapping.
