What is a Split Text Tool?
Ever tried posting a long message on Twitter only to realize it exceeds the character limit? Or needed to break down a huge document into readable sections? A Split Text Tool solves these problems instantly.
This tool intelligently divides your text into equal-sized chunks based on character count, word count, or number of lines. Whether you're creating social media threads, sending SMS messages, or organizing content for better readability, this tool handles it all automatically.
If you need to split text using a specific delimiter (like commas or special characters), use our Regex Splitter Tool. To extract specific sections instead of splitting purely by size, try the Text Slicer Tool.

Common Use Cases
Social Media Threads
Breaking long-form content into Twitter/X threads with character limits (280 chars). Automatically number each tweet to maintain reading order.
SMS & Messaging
Split long messages into 160-character SMS chunks to avoid carrier splitting. Perfect for bulk messaging or notification systems.
Database Batching
Split large datasets into manageable chunks for database imports, API requests, or processing batches without overwhelming systems.
Reading Comprehension

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I split text for Twitter threads or social media?
Choose the 'Characters' mode and set the limit to 280 (for Twitter/X) or 160 (for SMS). This will automatically chop your long text into perfectly sized posts. You can also use the Numbering feature to add '1/5', '2/5' etc. to each part, making it easy for readers to follow your thread.
What's the difference between this and a delimiter-based splitter?
This tool splits text into equal-sized parts based on a specific count (like 100 characters or 50 words). A delimiter-based splitter breaks text at specific characters (commas, newlines, etc.). Use this tool when you need consistent chunk sizes, like for SMS messages or reading blocks. Use a delimiter splitter when your text is already structured with separators.
Can I split by blank lines or paragraphs?
Yes! Use the 'Lines' mode and set the chunk size to 1 to split where each line becomes a chunk. For paragraphs separated by blank lines, you can adjust the chunk size accordingly. The batch mode can also help process each line independently while preserving paragraph structure.
How does the numbering feature work?
The numbering feature automatically adds 'Part X/Total' labels to each chunk. Prefix mode adds it at the start (e.g., '1/5 Your text...'), while Suffix mode adds it at the end (e.g., 'Your text... (1/5)'). This is perfect for social media threads, email sequences, or any multi-part content where readers need to track their progress.
Can I download all parts at once?
Yes! Use the 'Download All' button to save all chunks as a single text file with your chosen separator between parts. You can also download individual parts using the download button on each chunk card. The separator can be customized (newline, comma, or custom text).
What is batch mode and when should I use it?
Batch mode processes your text line-by-line instead of as one continuous block. It's useful when you have a list (like names or URLs) and want to split each item individually. For example, if you have a list of long product descriptions and want to split each description separately while keeping them organized by line.
Is my data safe and private?
Yes, 100% safe. This tool runs entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing you type or paste is ever sent to our servers or stored anywhere. It works completely offline after the page loads, making it secure for sensitive data like passwords, emails, contracts, or private documents.
What is the maximum chunk size I can use?
There's no strict limit on chunk size, but practical limits depend on your browser's memory. You can easily handle chunks of thousands of characters or hundreds of words. For extremely large files (100MB+), consider using smaller chunk sizes to ensure smooth performance and avoid browser slowdowns.
How can I use this tool for coding or development?
Developers can use the Numbering/Prefix feature to wrap items in quotes or brackets. For example, take a raw list of strings and wrap each in quotes "item", to create an array for JavaScript, Python, or SQL IN (...) clauses. You can also split large JSON files, split log files by lines, or break API responses into manageable chunks.
Can I upload files to split?
Yes! Click the 'Upload' button to load text files (.txt, .md, .json, .csv) directly. The tool supports files of several megabytes in size. After uploading, your text will appear in the input area, and you can configure your splitting preferences before processing.
