What does this tool do?
Word Wrap reflows long lines of text to a column width you choose, breaking only between words so nothing is split mid-word. Pick any width from 10 to 120 characters with the slider and see the result instantly in a monospace font. It is handy for anyone preparing emails, code comments, README files, or plain-text documents.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Adjust the options to fit your needs.
- Copy the processed text.
How the wrapping works
The tool processes your text line by line and splits each line into words. If adding the next word would exceed the chosen width, that word moves to a new line, so words are never cut in half. Any line breaks already in your text are preserved, which keeps your paragraph structure intact. If a single word is longer than the column width, it stays on its own line. Because the output is shown in a monospace font, you can visually align character counts.
When you need it
Fixed-width contexts are still everywhere: 72 or 80 column email bodies, inline code comments, Git commit messages, terminal output, and plain-text files. Wrapping your text to these limits prevents lines from overflowing the screen or breaking awkwardly. As you drag the slider, the output updates live, so you can experiment to find the width you want and copy the result with a single click.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to a single word longer than the width?
If one word is longer than your chosen column width, the tool does not split it. The word stays intact on its own line, since wrapping happens only at word boundaries.
Are my existing line breaks kept?
Yes. Existing line breaks in your text are preserved, and each line is wrapped separately, so your paragraph and list structure stays intact.
What width range can I choose?
The slider lets you pick any value from 10 to 120 characters. 72 is common for email, while 80 columns is the usual choice for code and terminal output.
