Word Wrap Tool
Hard-wrap a paragraph at a fixed line length.
Common: 72, 80, 100.
Wrap text into neat columns at a fixed character width. This keeps your paragraphs readable in plain text emails, README files, and source comments. Blank lines stay blank so paragraph breaks survive.
Wrapping happens at word boundaries within paragraphs. Blank lines are preserved, so paragraph breaks stay intact.
About

How to use

FAQ

72 for git commit bodies. 80 for source code (rooted in old terminals). 65-75 for prose, since longer lines hurt readability.
Does it preserve paragraph breaks?+
Yes. Blank lines stay blank. Each paragraph is wrapped independently.
