About Pad Text
The Pad Text tool extends each line of your text to a specific length by adding spaces or custom characters to the left or right side. This is useful when aligning values, formatting fixed-width data, or preparing structured output.
Example
Input:
Apple
Banana
Output (Right padded to 10 with spaces):
Apple_____
Banana_____
How to use
- Step 1: Enter or paste your text.
- Step 2: Choose left or right padding.
- Step 3: Define the total line length and padding character.
- Step 4: Click Pad Text and copy the result.
Who should use it?
This tool is helpful for developers, data analysts, spreadsheet users, and anyone working with fixed-width formats. For column-based alignment, you may also find the Column Align or Tabs to Spaces tools useful.
Why padding matters
Consistent spacing improves readability and prevents layout issues in systems that rely on fixed-length records, logs, or code output.
