Add Line Breaks Tool: The One-Click Way to Tame Your Text
Have you ever faced a wall of text that just wouldn’t breathe? You add line breaks manually, and it feels like wrestling with a stubborn Word doc. We’ve all been there, and that’s why the "Add Line Breaks" tool was created – to make your life easier and give your text the fresh air it deserves.
Our tool lets you effortlessly insert line breaks in your text based on a specified character and even customize where the break happens. Before, after, or instead of your chosen character – it’s like magic but with more lines. Let’s break down how it works (pun intended).
What is the "Add Line Breaks" Tool?
The "Add Line Breaks" tool is a simple yet powerful text utility that allows you to insert line breaks in your text wherever you see fit. You can customize the location of the breaks:
- Before the character: Adds a line break right before the specified character.
- After the character: Adds a line break immediately after the specified character.
- Instead of the character: Replaces the character with a line break.
You can also choose to add an extra line break after each occurrence, because sometimes, double spacing is your best friend.
How to Use the "Add Line Breaks" Tool
-
Enter Your Text: Paste or type your text into the "Input Text" box. It can be a paragraph, a list, or even the entire script for your next big speech.
-
Specify the Character for Line Breaks: Type the character or pattern you want to target. For instance, if you want to add a break every time the letter "C" appears, just put "C" in the input field.
-
Choose Your Break Mode:
- Before Occurrence: Adds a line break right before the specified character. Perfect for when you want a dramatic pause before a keyword.
- After Occurrence: Puts a line break immediately after the character. Great for breaking up phrases into bullet points.
- Instead of Occurrence: Replaces the character with a line break. Useful if you want to, say, turn commas into new lines.
-
Optional – Add an Extra Line After Each Break: Check this box if you want a little extra space in your life. Sometimes you need a bit more breathing room.

Click "Add Line Breaks": Voilà! Your transformed text will appear in the "Output Text" box, ready to be copied and used wherever you like.
