Unwrap text
Remove hard line breaks inside paragraphs to rejoin wrapped text — great for text copied from emails or PDFs. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
About this tool
Unwrap text removes the hard line breaks that chop a paragraph into many short lines — the kind you get when copying from an email, a PDF, a code comment, or fixed-width output — and rejoins each paragraph into one continuous line.
- Paragraph breaks are kept: blank lines stay, so the structure survives.
- Lists and quotes are protected: lines starting with
-,*,+,>, or1.stay on their own line (turn this off to join everything). - Multiple blank lines collapse to a single paragraph break.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser via WebAssembly — your text is never uploaded to a server. You can also run it from the gizza CLI or inside a gizza chat.
Common uses
- Clean up text pasted from a PDF or terminal so it reflows in your editor.
- Un-wrap a quoted email before replying or re-formatting.
- Prepare hard-wrapped notes for a tool that expects one line per paragraph.
FAQ
Which lines does the list/quote protection recognize?
Lines starting with -, *, + or > plus ordered-list markers in the
1. or 12) style. With "keep list breaks" on (the default) those lines
keep their own line; switch it off and every line inside a paragraph is
joined, lists included.
How exactly are the lines rejoined?
Each paragraph — a run of consecutive non-blank lines — is joined with a
single space between lines. Words hyphenated across a line break are not
re-fused: exam- + ple becomes exam- ple, so fix end-of-line hyphens
before or after unwrapping PDF text.
Do blank lines survive?
Yes — a blank line always ends a paragraph and is preserved, so the document structure survives. Runs of several blank lines are collapsed to a single paragraph break rather than kept verbatim.
