How to use this tool

  1. Enter text, target characters per line.
  2. Select Update result to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Collapse whitespace within each existing line. Add a new line before a word that would exceed the target width. Long individual words remain intact.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using text = Wrap a long paragraph into readable lines while preserving its existing paragraph breaks., target characters per line = 40, the result is Wrap a long paragraph into readable lines while preserving its existing paragraph breaks.. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

Understanding your result

No. Words longer than the target stay on one line so they remain intact. Existing line breaks are retained, while internal spaces are normalized.

What to keep in mind

Counts Unicode code points, not rendered pixel widths or grapheme clusters. Long words can exceed the requested width.

Common questions

Will it split a long URL or word?
