Add Line Breaks
Insert line breaks exactly where you need them: for fixed-width text, readable lists, subtitles or split data.

How the Add Line Breaks works
Wrap mode starts a new line before a word would push the line past your maximum length. Lengths are counted in visible characters, so emoji and accents count as one. Words are never cut: a word longer than the limit stays on a line of its own. Existing line breaks and blank lines are kept and each line is wrapped separately.
“After every N words” groups words into lines of N. “After each sentence” puts every sentence on its own line, with an optional blank line between them, using the same sentence rules as the Sentence Counter. “After a character or text” breaks after each occurrence of whatever you enter, such as a comma or a semicolon; \n and \t can be typed to match line breaks and tabs. The break goes after the delimiter and spaces right after it are dropped.
Wrapping collapses runs of spaces inside the lines it rewrites into one space.
How to use it
- Paste your text.
- Choose where the breaks should be added and set the number, if any.
- Copy the result.

Frequently asked questions
What width should I use for email or code comments?
Plain-text emails traditionally wrap at 72 characters, and many code style guides use 80 or 100. Pick the limit your platform expects.
Will it split a very long URL?
No. A word longer than the limit stays whole on its own line, so links and long identifiers are never broken.
How do I split a comma-separated list onto separate lines?
Use “After a character or text”, enter a comma, and tick “Remove it from the result” if you do not want the commas kept.
