Insert line breaks to make long text easier to read in plain-text layouts, using word boundaries by default. Follow the exact input and settings below to reproduce this example. Open Word Wrap.
Prepare the source text
Open Word Wrap and choose Write or paste text, or upload a supported UTF-8 text file. The upload opens the editor; it does not run the tool. This example uses the exact source shown in the comparison.
Maximum input and result: 1 MB of UTF-8 text, with a 1,048,576-character input ceiling. Expanding transformations must also fit the result limit.
Use the exact example input
Good writing starts with a clear idea.
This text operation runs in your browser; its source and result are not sent for conversion. A draft may be kept in this browser tab when session storage is available. Clear removes the current draft; download important work before closing the tab.
Choose the settings
For the recorded example, use these settings: Characters per line: 18; Break long words: Off.
Each original line is wrapped independently. The tool places words on lines that fit the requested width. With Break long words off, a single oversized word can exceed that width; turn it on to wrap at a fixed character width, allowing splits inside any word. Existing paragraph boundaries remain separate.

Apply and inspect the result
Select Word Wrap when the input and settings are ready. In the saved example, the result begins: "Good writing".
This changes the text by adding actual line breaks. Width is measured in characters, not screen pixels, so proportional fonts may look uneven.
Result overview shows Target line width, the Longest line in the result and the input-to-result line totals. If the longest line exceeds the target, check for an oversized word and review Break long words.
Result overview distinguishes changed, unchanged and empty results. An unchanged result means the selected operation did not alter the text; an empty result can be the expected outcome of removal or extraction. Line totals include a trailing empty line; an empty result has zero lines. Open Show spaces and tabs to reveal spaces as ·, tabs as ⇥ and line endings as ↵. These marks are only a preview; copied and downloaded text keeps its actual whitespace. The whitespace preview shows at most 12,000 Unicode code points. This preview limit does not shorten the editable result or its TXT download.
