Split text into list items, separate lines, or a JSON array using a custom separator.
Complete tool guide
Split Text is a free online text formatting utility designed to split text into list items, separate lines, or a JSON array using a custom separator. Instead of editing a long list, paragraph, document, or data sample by hand, you can paste the source text once and apply the same rule consistently to the entire input.
Splitting text is commonly used when processing comma-separated values (CSV), converting lists of items into code structures, or breaking apart a large string of text for further processing. This is especially useful when text has been copied from spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, source code, forms, content-management systems, or exported data and needs to be cleaned before it can be reused. The original wording is preserved unless the selected transformation specifically changes it.
Paste or type the source content into the Input field. Keep a copy of the original when formatting business-critical data.
Adjust any available configuration options, such as separators, numbering, matching rules, or whether blank lines should be preserved.
Review the live Output panel and compare its character, word, and line totals with the input to catch unexpected changes.
Copy the result, download it as a text file, or use the output as new input when you need to perform another cleanup step.

The transformation is applied consistently across the complete text. Characters or line breaks that do not match the selected rule remain available unless this tool is specifically intended to remove them.
Originating from text parsing command-line utilities (like awk and cut), split text functionality is now standard in all modern programming languages as .split().
Text formats often look similar on screen while containing different spaces, tabs, punctuation, or newline characters. Reviewing the output is important when the destination system has strict formatting requirements.
This formatting operation runs in your browser. The text you enter is processed on the page rather than being submitted to the text-generation service.
For confidential material, still follow your organization’s data-handling rules and avoid leaving sensitive output in clipboard history or downloaded files longer than necessary.
Split Text is used to automate a repeatable text-formatting task across an entire passage or list. Typical uses include content cleanup, data preparation, document formatting, coding workflows, list normalization, and converting copied text into a structure accepted by another application.
The tool applies the formatting rule shown on the page and does not intentionally rewrite the language. However, removing separators, punctuation, spacing, or characters can change how a sentence or dataset is interpreted, so review the output before publishing or importing it.
Yes. Plain-text output can be copied into most editors and business applications. The correct result still depends on the destination’s delimiter, newline, whitespace, and encoding requirements, so verify a small sample first.
It can process substantial text directly in the browser, but performance depends on the input size and device. For extremely large files, process the content in manageable sections and verify that line boundaries remain correct.
