How to Use the Text Wrapper

1

Paste your long text

Paste any text with long lines into the input area. The tool analyzes the line lengths and prepares for wrapping.

Set the line width

Adjust the character width using the slider or type a custom value. Common presets like Narrow, Email, Terminal, and Wide are available for quick selection.

3

Configure wrapping options

Choose between hard wrap (inserts line breaks) or soft wrap. Set break behavior to Words (break at word boundaries) or Characters (exact position). Add prefix/suffix text or line numbers as needed.

4

Copy the wrapped output

The wrapped text appears instantly. Copy it with one click for use in emails, terminal windows, code comments, or fixed-width documents.
