Center Text puts each line of a plain-text block in the middle of a fixed width by adding spaces to both sides. It is the browser-side equivalent of centring a heading in a monospace document: choose a width, paste the lines, and every short line gains the same left and right margin. An odd number of missing characters goes to the right, so the result is deterministic rather than dependent on rounding. Lines that already reach the width are left exactly as they are, which means centring never truncates a long line or silently wraps it. The width is measured in code points, not display columns, so a CJK character or an emoji counts as one unit even if a terminal draws it wider; the page says so rather than promising pixel-perfect alignment. It is not a replacement for CSS centring on a web page, and it does not strip existing leading spaces before centring, so a line that arrives indented is centred with that indentation included. It is the tool for titles in a plain-text README, centred labels in a fixed-width field, and quick banners made of characters. Leading and trailing spaces already present on a line are counted as content, so an indented line is centred with its indentation rather than stripped first.

Frequently asked questions about Center Text
Why is the text not perfectly centred in my font?
Centring counts characters, not rendered widths. It lines up in a monospace face; a proportional font gives each character a different width.
What happens to a line longer than the width?
It is left unchanged. The tool never trims or wraps a long line, so no content is lost.
Does it remove existing indentation first?
No. Existing leading spaces are part of the line and are counted, then the whole line is centred. Trim them first if you want a clean centre.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Centring runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server or stored.
