Hard-wrap long lines at a specified column width (60, 72, 80, 100). Smart word-boundary breaks.
0 lines wrapped
Free Markdown Line Wrapper hard-wraps long paragraph lines at a specified column width (40-120). Breaks at word boundaries by default so no word is split mid-way. Headings, list items, blockquotes, tables, and code blocks are left untouched.

Git commit style guides say 72 columns. Changelog conventions say 80. Wrapping a dozen paragraphs by hand is tedious. This tool does it in milliseconds, for free.

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.
Set the wrap width from 40 to 120 columns. Common values: 72 for git commit messages, 80 for general documentation, 100 for wider terminals. Only paragraph text longer than the width is wrapped; short lines pass through unchanged.
For the reverse operation (removing hard wraps), see the Free Markdown Paragraph Unwrapper.
With Break on word enabled (the default), the tool finds the last space before the column limit and breaks there. No word is ever split mid-way. Toggle it off for a strict character-count cut when exact column alignment matters more than readability.
For adjusting indentation after wrapping, try the Free Markdown Indent / Outdent tool.
Headings, list items, blockquotes, tables, horizontal rules, and blank lines are never wrapped, no matter how long they are. Only plain paragraph text is processed. This means your document structure stays intact after wrapping.
To extract a specific section from the wrapped result, use the Free Markdown Section Extractor.
Fenced code blocks (``` and ~~~) are tracked and skipped. Long code lines stay on one line because wrapping would break syntax. Only prose outside fences is wrapped.
For formatting and linting the overall document, pair with the Free Markdown Formatter.
