What is Paragraph Splitter?
The Paragraph Splitter takes dense, run-on text and breaks it into clean, readable paragraphs. Choose how many sentences or words each paragraph should contain, or use the repair mode to fix mangled line breaks copied from PDFs and plain-text sources. Every paragraph is numbered and can be copied on its own, copied all together, or downloaded as a text file.
How does Paragraph Splitter work?
This tool splits text at sentence boundaries and groups the sentences into paragraphs of a chosen size. A word-count mode does the same by words for text without punctuation, and a normalize mode keeps your existing paragraph breaks while repairing soft line wraps. All processing happens in your browser, so the text never leaves your device.

Common Use Cases
Fixing text copied from PDFs
PDF copies often break lines mid-sentence. The repair mode collapses those soft wraps back into flowing paragraphs.
Formatting AI-generated text
Chatbots and AI writers often return one dense block. Split it into scannable paragraphs before publishing.
Preparing blog posts and emails
Turn a rough draft of run-on sentences into paragraphs sized for the web, where short paragraphs read best.
Breaking up transcripts
Meeting transcripts and subtitles arrive as walls of text. Group them into readable paragraph blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split text into paragraphs?
Paste your text into the Paragraph Splitter, choose how many sentences each paragraph should contain, and press the split button. The tool groups the sentences into numbered paragraphs you can copy or download.
How many sentences should a paragraph have?
Most style guides recommend two to five sentences per paragraph. The default setting of three sentences per paragraph works well for web articles, emails, and blog posts.
Can I split text by number of words instead of sentences?
Yes. Switch the split mode to words per paragraph and set the count. This is useful for transcripts or captions that have no sentence punctuation to split on.
Why is my text broken into short lines after pasting from a PDF?
PDFs store hard line breaks at the end of every visual line. Use the line-break repair mode, which joins those soft wraps into full sentences while keeping genuine paragraph breaks intact.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The splitting runs entirely in your browser, and the text never leaves your device.
