About Word Wrap
Word Wrap reformats long lines into readable, fixed-width paragraphs. It’s useful when preparing text for emails, subtitle files, Markdown documents, or any environment where long single lines hurt readability. The tool offers both soft wrapping (breaks at spaces) and hard wrapping (forces exact column width).
Example
Input: A long paragraph with lines that extend beyond 120 characters may cause ugly horizontal scrolling in editors and email clients. Use word wrap to make it tidy and consistent.
Output (wrap at 60 chars, soft): lines will break at spaces so words remain intact and paragraphs look neat.
How to use
- Paste your text into the Input box.
- Choose the wrap width (recommended 70–90 chars for email and 40–60 for narrow sidebars).
- Select Soft to keep words intact or Hard to enforce exact column breaks.
- Click Wrap Text. Copy or download the result.
Who uses this?
Writers, editors, documentation teams, and developers preparing plain-text content benefit from consistent line lengths. If you’re preparing subtitles or SRT files, consider checking Subtitle Cleaner after wrapping. For counting characters and verifying limits, try the Word Count tool.
Notes & best practices
- For code blocks or preformatted text, use Hard with caution — monospace alignment may break if tabs are present. Use Tabs to Spaces first if needed.
- If your text has manual line breaks you want removed before wrapping, run Remove Line Breaks.
- To convert wrapped text back into single lines, use Merge Lines.
