Wrap Text
Wrap long lines of text at a specified column width for use in emails, code, terminals, or documents.
What is a Wrap Text?
A text wrapper inserts line breaks at word boundaries to ensure no line exceeds a specified character width.
Hard-wrapped text is required in many contexts: plain-text email clients, terminal output, README files, code comments, and legacy systems that do not perform soft wrapping. The standard email line length is 72-78 characters. Most code style guides wrap comments at 80 columns. This tool handles word-boundary wrapping instantly.
How to Use Wrap Text
- 1Paste your text into the input area.
- 2Set the column width (default: 80 characters).
