Text Beautifier / Formatter (Private, In-Browser)

Turn messy text into clean, readable paragraphs. This tool wraps lines to your preferred width, adds first-line or block indentation, normalizes spaces and punctuation, and applies optional smart typography. It preserves code fences, inline code, lists, and URLs — and everything runs entirely in your browser.

Key Features

Smart Word Wrap

Greedy, non-hyphenating wrap at 60/72/80/100/120 columns or no wrap at all. Respects inline code and URLs so they never break.

Flexible Indentation

First-line and block indent controls, plus optional hanging indent for bulleted/numbered lists with alignment width.

Paragraph Spacing

Single line, blank line (Markdown-friendly), or keep original paragraph gaps — your choice.

Smart Typography

Straight → curly quotes, normalize dashes (en/em), convert ... to ellipsis, and tune space after periods (1 or 2).

Structure-Aware

Keeps code fences, inline code, list markers, headings, and links intact. Removes trailing spaces and fixes punctuation spacing.

Privacy First

Everything runs locally in your browser. No uploads, no tracking, no server processing.
