Features explained
Center Alignment
Adds leading spaces to center non-empty lines according to the target width.
Left Alignment
Trims leading and trailing whitespace from non-empty lines without adding padding.
Right Alignment
Adds leading spaces so a non-empty line reaches at least the target width.
Copy to Clipboard
Provides a control for copying the aligned result.
Download Result
Provides a control for downloading the aligned text.
Load Example and Clear
The interface includes controls for loading an example and clearing content.
What can you use it for?
Formatting Plain Text
Add leading spaces to text lines for simple plain-text formatting.
Preparing Text Snippets
Align non-empty lines before copying them into another text editor.
Quick Alignment Changes
Switch between center, left, and right alignment without manually adding leading spaces.

Benefits
- Choose from three alignment modes.
- Apply alignment line by line.
- Preserve blank lines.
- Copy or download the resulting text using the available controls.
Limitations
- The tool adds spaces to text; it does not establish visual alignment in a document or webpage.
- The alignment logic trims leading and trailing whitespace from non-empty lines.
- Long lines are not truncated to fit the target width.
- The supplied excerpt does not establish the exact download filename or file format.
- Character counting and display behavior are not fully verified from the supplied excerpt.
Privacy and Processing
The supplied analysis reports client-side processing and no fetch/API call in the scanned files. This supports describing the observed alignment logic as client-side. It does not establish the behavior of every dependency or the complete application, so broader privacy guarantees cannot be confirmed from this excerpt alone.
Tips
- Choose Center when you want leading spaces added to each non-empty line.
- Use Left when you want surrounding whitespace removed without added padding.
- Use Right when you want lines padded from the beginning to at least the target width.
- Increase the target width when you want more space before shorter centered lines.
- Use the example control to inspect the tool's example before processing your own text.
Frequently asked questions
What does this center text tool do?
It processes text line by line and adds leading spaces for center alignment. It also supports left and right alignment.
Can I align text to the left?
Yes. Left alignment trims surrounding whitespace from non-empty lines and does not add padding.
Can I align text to the right?
Yes. Right alignment adds leading spaces until a non-empty line reaches at least the target width.
What is the default target width?
The alignment logic uses 80 when the supplied width is falsy. The code clamps the effective width between 1 and 5000.
Are blank lines removed?
No. Empty or whitespace-only lines are returned unchanged by the alignment logic.
Does the tool cut off long lines?
No truncation is shown in the supplied alignment logic. A line longer than the target width is not shortened.
Can I copy the aligned text?
The scanned files identify a copy-to-clipboard feature. The excerpt does not document every browser-specific behavior.
Is text sent to an API?
No fetch or API call was found in the scanned files, and the analysis identifies client-side processing. The excerpt alone cannot establish the behavior of every dependency or the full application.
