Where does the line break?

Lines are broken at word boundaries (at spaces) so words stay intact and no line exceeds your chosen width, unless a single word is longer than the width.

What does "break long words" do?

When enabled, words longer than the wrap width are hard-split across lines so nothing overflows — useful for long URLs or identifiers. When disabled, such a word is left on its own line and may exceed the width.

What width should I use?

72 or 80 characters are the classic choices for plain-text email and code comments, matching old terminal widths. Pick whatever your destination expects.

Is this a hard wrap or a soft wrap?

It is a hard wrap — actual newline characters are inserted, so the text stays wrapped wherever you paste it, unlike a soft wrap that only affects on-screen display.

Does it change my words or spacing within a line?

It reflows the text onto new lines but does not alter the words themselves. Words are separated by single spaces on each wrapped line.

Can I wrap multiple paragraphs at once?

Yes. Paste as much text as you like and every line is reflowed to the chosen width in one pass, then shown ready to copy.

No — wrapping runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

Word Wrap Tool — Gera Tools

Wrap text to a fixed width

Plain-text email, code comments, README files, and terminal output often need a fixed line width. This word wrap tool reflows your text so every line stays within the character width you choose, breaking only at word boundaries so words are never split mid-letter (unless you ask it to).

How it works

The tool reads your text word by word and packs as many words as will fit on each line without exceeding your chosen width, then starts a new line. Real newline characters are inserted, so it is a hard wrap that stays put wherever you paste the result. If a single word is longer than the width, it normally sits on its own line; turning on break long words hard-splits it across lines instead, which is handy for long URLs and identifiers.

Option	Behaviour
Width	Maximum characters per line
Break long words off	Over-long words stay whole on one line
Break long words on	Over-long words are hard-split to fit

Example

Wrapping “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” to a width of 20 produces:

The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy
dog

Each line stays at or under 20 characters, and every break falls between words.

Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
