Split text by line, comma or any delimiter into a clean list, blank entries and stray spaces removed. Free, runs entirely in your browser.
Text splitter
This app splits text into a list using a delimiter you choose, a line break by default, then cleans the result: each item is trimmed of leading and trailing whitespace, and any entry left empty is dropped. What comes out is one item per line, nothing blank, nothing padded.
It runs on your device. Paste, choose a delimiter if needed, split, copy. Nothing you paste is uploaded.
The problem
A list pasted from an email, a spreadsheet column, or a chat reply rarely arrives clean. It carries blank lines, trailing spaces that a spreadsheet import will choke on, and sometimes a mix of line breaks and commas depending on how it was typed.
Turning that into one clean value per line is tedious to do by hand once the list runs past a dozen items, and error-prone too: it's easy to miss one trailing space or one blank line buried in the middle of a long paste, and that single miss is often the thing that breaks an otherwise successful bulk import.
Workflow
The default delimiter is a line break, covering the most common case with no setup.
The delimiter
If your text is comma-separated, semicolon-separated, or separated by any other character, type that character into the delimiter field. The tool splits on it exactly, as literal text rather than a pattern.
Each piece is trimmed and empty results dropped either way, so a trailing delimiter or a run of several in a row doesn't leave blank entries. That holds whether the character you pick is common, a comma or a pipe, or something unusual you're using specifically because it doesn't appear anywhere else in the data.
Why it matters
A blank line pasted into a bulk-import tool becomes an empty row the import rejects or silently stores as blank. A trailing space on an entry makes it fail to match an identical-looking value elsewhere.
A list mixing line breaks and commas confuses a script expecting one consistent separator.
None of these show up as an obvious error in the pasted text itself. A trailing space is invisible on screen, and a blank line just looks like extra whitespace, so the failure only appears downstream, in the system that receives the bad value, well after the point where it would have been easy to spot and fix.
Straight answer
No. This splits on a literal delimiter you choose, not on sentence-ending punctuation or paragraph structure. It has no notion of a sentence; it only knows where your chosen delimiter sits.
For splitting a paragraph into sentences, a different kind of tool is needed. This one is for lists already separated by something, cleaned up and made consistent.
Who it's for
Anyone preparing a bulk import, tags, email addresses, SKUs, uses it to turn a pasted comma-separated blob into one clean value per line.
Developers normalise a list copied from documentation before pasting it into an array literal or a config file.
How matching works
Type a period, an asterisk or a pipe into the delimiter field and the tool looks for that exact character, not a regular-expression wildcard. A period splits only on an actual period, never standing in for "any character" the way it would in a regex-based tool.
The delimiter also isn't limited to one character. Typing a whole sequence like ' | ' (a pipe with a space on each side) splits on that exact multi-character string, which suits data formatted with spacing around a separator rather than a bare comma or pipe.
Paste it into the box, choose your delimiter if it isn't a line break, and press Split.
Yes. No signup, no trial, no usage limit.
No. Processing happens in your browser.
A line break. If your list has one item per line already, no change is needed.
Yes, type a comma into the delimiter field.
Yes, any entry left empty after splitting and trimming is dropped.
Yes, leading and trailing whitespace is removed from every item.
No, it splits on the literal delimiter you choose.
Yes, any character or short string works.
It produces an empty final entry, which is dropped.
No, only whitespace is trimmed.
Yes, no length cap and no run limit.
Yes, in any modern mobile browser.
No, use the AI watermark remover if invisible characters are the problem.
Not in one pass. Run it once per delimiter.
No, it's a single browser tool with no account.
Yes, nothing leaves your browser and nothing is stored.
This produces a plain list. The JSON array converters wrap the same split into valid JSON array syntax.
Yes, the field accepts any literal string, not just a single character. A sequence like ' | ' with a space on each side works as one delimiter.
No, every character in the delimiter field is matched literally, never as a regex pattern, so a period only matches an actual period.
Always line breaks. Whatever you split on, the result comes back as one item per line, regardless of how the input was separated.
The whole paste comes back as a single trimmed item, since there was nothing to split on.
