Text Separator
Split text by line breaks, commas, tabs, spaces, or a custom delimiter, then rejoin it with auto-detection, whitespace controls, and live item counts.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Text & Writing

How the Text Separator works
- Paste or type items separated by line breaks, commas, tabs, spaces, or your own delimiter.
- Choose automatic detection or a source delimiter, then choose the separator for the output.
- Trim whitespace or remove empty items, review the live item count, and copy or download the result.
Local text processing
The tool splits and rejoins your text in the browser without uploading it or calling an external service.
Use custom separators when your data uses a character that is not listed in the presets.
FAQ
Which input separators are supported?
You can use line breaks, commas, tabs, spaces, automatic detection, or any custom separator you enter.
What happens to whitespace and empty lines?
Trim whitespace is enabled by default, and Remove empty items is also enabled. Turn either option off when you need to preserve the original spacing or blank entries.
Does this tool upload my data?
No. Splitting and joining happen locally in your browser, and your text is not sent to a server.
Can I download the separated result?
Yes. Use Copy result for the clipboard or Download .txt to save the current preview as a text file.
Can I split text using more than one delimiter at once?
No. Choose one source separator (or Auto detect, which picks the first delimiter type it finds) per conversion. To handle text with mixed delimiters, run the tool again with a different source separator.
Does this tool support splitting by regular expressions?
No. It splits by a fixed set of delimiters - line breaks, commas, tabs, spaces - or any single custom character or string you enter, not by regex patterns.
