What is Text Splitter?

A text splitter divides one block of text into separate pieces using the delimiter you choose. Data often arrives as a single string — a comma-separated list, a pipe-delimited log row, a tab-separated spreadsheet row — and you need each value on its own line for a checklist, a spreadsheet, a script or an API. The splitter takes your input, splits it on every occurrence of the delimiter and puts one trimmed value per line. It accepts any delimiter: commas, semicolons, pipes, tabs, a word, or even a phrase. It also trims the surrounding spaces from each piece so the output is clean and ready to use. Developers use it to convert CSV snippets into readable lines, marketers use it to break a keyword or hashtag list into separate rows, and analysts use it to split log entries before analysis. Everything runs in the browser, so your text never leaves your machine.

How to use Text Splitter

Paste your text into the input box.
Enter the delimiter you want to split on — a comma, semicolon, pipe, tab or any string.
Click “Split Text” to break the text into separate lines.
Copy the result from the output box and use it where you need the items separated.

Example

Input: apple, banana, cherry, date (delimiter “,”) Output: apple banana cherry date Each value appears on its own line with the surrounding spaces removed.

Common use cases

Turning a comma-separated list into a line-by-line checklist or column.
Splitting pipe- or tab-delimited log and export rows into readable parts.
Breaking a hashtag or keyword list into separate rows for a content calendar.
Converting a block of text into individual items for a script, CSV or array.

Pro tips

Use a tab as the delimiter for data copied from spreadsheets or TSV exports.
If your delimiter is a punctuation mark, type it exactly as it appears in the text.
Split a copy first, then lightly trim each line if the source had inconsistent spacing.
