Pasting long lines into a fixed-width view leaves them running off the edge unless you wrap them.
Word Wrap Online reflows text to a width you choose, breaking only at spaces so words stay whole.
How to use Word Wrap Online
- Paste the long text you want to reflow into the input box.
- Set the wrap width, and Word Wrap Online breaks the text at word boundaries to fit it.
- Copy the wrapped lines, or download them as a .txt file.
Use cases
- Wrapping a long paragraph to a comfortable reading width.
- Reflowing notes to fit an 80-column plain-text file.
- Preparing flowing text for a fixed-width display.
Good to know
Word Wrap Online breaks lines only at spaces, so words are never split across lines. A word longer than the width is kept whole on its own line rather than chopped, and the readout reports the resulting line count and longest line.
Frequently asked questions
Will a long word ever be split?
No. Words are kept whole, so a token longer than the width simply occupies its own line.
Is wrapping based on characters or words?
It wraps at word boundaries while counting characters of display width to decide where each line ends.
What does the readout show?
It reports how many lines the text wrapped to and the length of the longest line after wrapping.
