Word Wrap Tool

A word wrap tool reflows text so no line exceeds a fixed column width you choose, like 80 characters. It breaks lines at word boundaries instead of in the middle of words, preserves readability, and can reformat paragraphs, quotes, and lists for email, code, documentation, and terminals.

Word mode is greedy and fast - it fills each line with as many words as fit and then starts a new line. Balanced mode uses optimal line-breaking to minimize uneven right edges, giving a cleaner block of text. Character mode ignores words and cuts strictly every N characters, which is useful for fixed-width data files and terminal displays.

You have three options. Break splits a long word across lines at your width. Keep overflow leaves the long word on its own line even if it exceeds width, so nothing is cut. Hyphenate adds a - at the break point. When Avoid breaking URLs is on, links starting with http://, https:// or www. are treated as unbreakable tokens and moved whole to the next line when possible.

Yes. With Preserve paragraphs enabled, two or more newlines start a new paragraph and are kept as a blank separator. You can choose to merge single line breaks inside a paragraph to reflow pasted text, or keep them to wrap each existing line separately. There are also toggles for trimming empty lines, collapsing multiple spaces, and trimming leading or trailing whitespace.

Yes, when Keep bullets is enabled. It detects -, *, +, •, 1., 1), a) and similar markers. The marker stays on the first line and continuation lines get automatic hanging spaces equal to the marker length, so wrapped text aligns under the text, not under the bullet.

Absolutely. Use Line prefix and Line suffix. Set prefix to > to reflow blockquotes for email replies, // for JavaScript comments, # for Python or shell, or * for JSDoc blocks. Add a suffix like \ if you need a continuation character. Indents are applied on top of the prefix.

Common standards are 72 characters for Git commit messages, 80 for plain-text email, code, and terminals, 100-120 for modern code editors, and 40-60 for narrow columns or mobile readability. Use the presets and the live ruler to preview. For prose, 60-80 is usually most readable.

Yes. The entire wrapping engine runs 100% client-side in your browser using pure TypeScript. No text is uploaded to a server, no network request is made, and file drops are read locally. You can disconnect from the internet after loading the page and it will continue to work.

This happens when a single unbreakable token like a long URL or a very long word is longer than your width and Long word mode is set to Keep overflow. Switch to Break or Hyphenate, increase width, or enable Avoid breaking URLs to move the whole URL to its own line. The tool highlights overflow line numbers so you can spot them quickly.
