About the Text Wrapper
Plain-text emails, commit messages, terminal output, printed labels and some data formats need lines of a fixed maximum length. This tool rewraps your text to the width you choose.
In word boundaries mode, lines break between words and words are never split unless a single word is longer than the limit. In exactly every N characters mode, a break is inserted after every N characters, which is useful for fixed-width data, Base64 blocks and keys. Existing line breaks are kept.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Set the maximum line length and the break mode.
- Click Wrap Text and copy the result.

Frequently asked questions
What width should I use for emails?
Around 72 characters is a common convention for plain-text email.
Are words ever split?
Only in word mode when a single word is longer than the limit, or always in exact-character mode.
How do I undo the wrapping?
Use Remove Line Breaks.
Is the text I enter kept private?
Yes. The Text Wrapper runs entirely in your web browser, so your text is never uploaded to or stored on our servers. Like most free websites, TextForge shows ads from Google, which may use cookies. See our Privacy Policy for details.
