Line Breaks to Paragraphs Converter
Convert line breaks to HTML paragraph tags or collapse paragraphs to a single line. Free online text-to-HTML paragraph converter.
Three steps to get started
Paste your plain text
Paste text with paragraphs separated by blank lines. Single line breaks within paragraphs become <br> tags.
Choose conversion direction
Select "Breaks → <p> Tags" to convert plain text to HTML, or "Paragraphs → Single Line" to go the other way.
Copy the HTML output
Copy the converted HTML and paste it directly into your CMS, email template, or HTML editor.
Turn plain text into proper HTML paragraphs
When you copy plain text into an HTML editor or CMS, line breaks are often ignored — the text collapses into a single block with no paragraph structure. This tool converts your plain text into properly wrapped HTML paragraphs, preserving your paragraph breaks exactly.
How it works:
- Blank lines (double line breaks) become paragraph boundaries — each block gets wrapped in
<p></p>tags - Single line breaks within a paragraph become
<br>tags - The output is clean, minimal HTML ready to paste into any editor
The reverse mode — "Paragraphs to Single Line" — strips HTML paragraph and line-break tags and returns plain text. This is useful when you have HTML content that you want to convert back to a plain text document.
Use cases include: publishing articles in WordPress or another CMS, preparing HTML email bodies, converting structured plain text documents into web-ready HTML, and reformatting content copied from a word processor into an HTML template.
All conversion happens in your browser instantly, with no uploads or accounts required.
