Text Wrapper
Hard-wrap text to a maximum column width. Break lines at word boundaries or character count for clean formatting.
About This Free Online Text Wrapper
Our free online text wrapper hard-wraps your text to a specified maximum column width. Choose word-boundary wrapping (breaks at space between words for clean lines that never exceed the limit) or character wrapping (breaks at exact character count). An optional "preserve paragraphs" mode keeps double line breaks (paragraph separators) intact while wrapping individual paragraphs. Perfect for formatting text for email, code comments, documentation, plaintext files, and any scenario where line width matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Text Wrapper
What is the difference between word-boundary and character wrapping?
Word-boundary wrapping breaks lines at spaces, ensuring no word is split across lines. Character wrapping breaks at the exact character count, which may split words mid-letter. Word-boundary is preferred for readable text.
What is standard text width?
72 characters is the traditional standard for plaintext email and code comments. 80 characters is widely used for terminal output. 60-66 characters is recommended for maximum readability in print and web.
What does "Preserve Paragraphs" do?
When enabled, double line breaks (blank lines between paragraphs) are kept as paragraph separators. Each paragraph is wrapped independently, preserving the document structure.
