About the Split Text Into Lines
Split Text Into Lines breaks a single block of text into separate lines wherever a delimiter appears — a comma, a semicolon, a space, any custom string, or after every N characters. It is the reverse of joining and turns comma-separated values into a clean vertical list instantly.
It suits anyone unpacking CSV data, splitting tags, chunking a long string into fixed-width pieces, or preparing a list for further editing. Choose your delimiter and the output appears immediately, one item per line.
Splitting runs completely in your browser with no uploads, so your data stays private and the tool works offline. Custom delimiters are handled safely, so unusual characters never break the tool.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a comma-separated list into separate lines?
Paste the text and choose the comma delimiter. Each value between commas becomes its own line in the output.
Can I split text every 10 characters?
Yes. Select the “Every N characters” mode and enter 10, and the text is chopped into 10-character chunks, one per line.
What if my delimiter has special characters?
That is fine. The tool escapes your delimiter so symbols like dots, stars or brackets are matched literally and never cause an error.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Splitting happens locally in your browser, so your data stays on your device and the tool works without a connection.
