What is the Text Wrapper?
The Text Wrapper reformats your text so no line exceeds the width you choose, breaking on word boundaries so words stay intact. It is perfect for terminal output, email clients that don't wrap automatically, and formatting comments in code.
Who is the Text Wrapper for?
Developers formatting comments, technical writers preparing plain-text README files, sysadmins prepping terminal output, and email marketers writing plain-text versions.
Why use the Text Wrapper?
- Word-boundary aware wrapping.
- Configurable width.
- Preserves paragraphs.
- Instant preview.
- Runs offline.
When should I use the Text Wrapper?
- Formatting a README for terminal display.
- Preparing a plain-text email.
- Wrapping code comments at column 80.
- Formatting quoted text for a forum post.
- Preparing text for a fixed-width printer.
Is the Text Wrapper safe and private?
Yes. This tool runs entirely inside your browser - your text is never uploaded, stored on our servers or shared with third parties. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will keep working. That makes it safe for confidential notes, drafts, private messages and unpublished work.
How do I get the best results from the Text Wrapper?
- 80 characters is a safe default for terminals.
- Combine with Text Aligner for full formatting.
- Very long unbroken tokens will exceed the width - nothing can be done about them without breaking words.
- Use Line Break Remover first to strip stray line breaks.
Frequently asked questions

Which widths are common?
80 characters for terminals, 72 for old-school email, and 100–120 for source code.
Does it preserve paragraphs?
Yes - blank-line paragraph breaks stay intact.
Is anything uploaded?
No - wrapping happens locally.
