About Word Wrapping
Word wrapping reformats a block of text so that no line exceeds a specified character width, breaking only at word boundaries so that no word is split mid-word. It is a fundamental text-formatting technique used in email clients, code editors, terminal emulators, and documentation tools.
Common width standards: 72 characters for email bodies and Git commit message bodies (RFC 2822); 80 characters for C code comments and classic terminal width; 120 characters for modern IDE line-length guidelines. Choosing 60–80 characters generally produces the most readable prose.
This tool processes each paragraph independently, preserving blank lines between paragraphs. Enter your desired width (10–500), paste or type your text, and click Wrap Text. The formatted result is displayed in a monospace textarea for easy copying.
