What is Text Wrapping?
Text wrapping is an online tool that breaks long lines at a specified character width, creating neat columns of text. Whether you're a developer formatting code comments, a writer preparing text for fixed-width displays, or a content creator formatting emails, our text wrap tool handles all your width-limiting needs effortlessly.
This tool wraps text at your specified width (typically 80, 100, or 120 characters) while preserving word boundaries. Simply paste your text, set your desired width, and get neatly wrapped results instantly.
Why Use Text Wrapping?
Text wrapping is essential when preparing content for environments with fixed-width constraints. Developers frequently need to wrap code comments, documentation, or README files at 80 or 120 characters to ensure readability in terminal windows, code editors, or version control diffs without horizontal scrolling.
Writers and content creators use text wrapping to format plain text emails, prepare content for monospaced displays, or ensure text fits within specific column widths for newsletters or publications. Technical writers benefit from wrapping when creating documentation that needs to display properly in console outputs or text-based interfaces.
The tool saves time by automatically breaking lines at appropriate word boundaries while respecting your specified width. It's particularly useful when working with long paragraphs that need reformatting to meet width requirements without manual line break insertion.
Common Use Cases
Code Documentation: Wrap comments and documentation at 80 or 120 characters for readability.
Email Formatting: Format plain text emails to prevent horizontal scrolling.
README Files: Ensure README files display properly in terminal windows and text editors.
Column Formatting: Create fixed-width columns for newsletters or text-based layouts.
