Text Wrap Previewer
Compare normal, balanced, and pretty line wrapping at a chosen text measure.
Online Tool
Carefully chosen line breaks help a heading feel balanced, while body copy benefits from a comfortable measure and predictable word spacing.
.text-block {
max-width: 48ch;
text-wrap: balance;
hyphens: manual;
}Balance is most useful for short headings; pretty targets better paragraph breaks. Results depend on browser support and the available line width.
Tool Working Principle
The preview uses the browser's text-wrap and hyphens CSS properties on a constrained text block. Balance is intended for short text such as headings; pretty can improve paragraph breaks, but support and results vary by browser.
Step-by-Step Usage Tutorial
- 1Paste a heading or paragraph.
- 2Choose a wrapping mode and adjust the measure.
- 3Optionally enable browser hyphenation, then copy the CSS.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to use Text Wrap Previewer?+
No. Every tool on TypeTempo runs fully in the browser with no account, email, or API key.
Is my input text stored anywhere?+
Tool calculations use the text in your browser, and the app does not send that input to the TypeTempo application server. A preview may still request font files or other assets from an external provider; those requests do not include the text you entered.
Can I use the output commercially?+
You can use generated text and CSS in personal or commercial work. If a result depends on a named typeface or third-party asset, check that family's or asset's licence before using or distributing its files.
Which browsers are supported?+
The tools are designed for modern desktop and mobile browsers. Font rendering and individual CSS or Unicode features can vary, so check the specific result in the browsers and devices you support.
Does balance work well on long body copy?+
Balance is designed primarily for short text and headings. For longer paragraphs, pretty may improve the final lines; compare both in the actual layout and browser you plan to use.
