Text Aligner

Align text to left, center, right, or justify with configurable width and padding

Text Aligner — Format Text with Left, Center, Right, and Full Justification at Configurable Widths with Custom Padding Characters

  1. Type or paste your text into the input area. The Text Aligner operates on a line-by-line basis — each line of input is independently aligned to the specified width, making it perfect for formatting multi-line content like ASCII art titles, code comments, configuration file headers, poetry, or structured text documents. Unlike word processors that align text within a page margin, this tool pads each line to an exact character width, giving you precise control over the visual output — ideal for monospace environments like terminal output, code documentation, plain-text emails, and fixed-width file formats.
  2. Choose your alignment mode: Left — text starts at the left edge with padding on the right (standard for most text), Center — text is centered within the specified width with equal or near-equal padding on both sides (great for titles, headings, and decorative ASCII separators), Right — text aligns to the right edge with padding on the left (useful for numbers in tables, currency amounts, and right-to-left script preparation), Justify — text expands to fill the full width by distributing extra space between words (mimics newspaper column formatting). Adjust the output width using the slider to set the total desired line length in characters — experiment with different widths to find the visual balance that works for your use case.
  3. Customize the padding character — the default is space (invisible padding), but you can change it to any character for creative effects: use - or = for ASCII separator lines (centered text flanked by dashes), * for attention-grabbing banners, . for table-of-contents style dot leaders, or ~ for decorative waves. The aligned result updates instantly as you change settings, and the Copy button transfers the formatted output to your clipboard. All formatting runs entirely in your browser — your text content never leaves your device.
