Indent Text

Choose a formatting mode and adjust its controls

Select the mode that matches the change you want to make:

• Add Indent
• Remove Indent
• Tabs -> Spaces
• Spaces-> Tabs
• Hanging Indent
• Smart Auto-Format

The available settings include Indent character, Spaces, and Tab character (\t). The Spaces per level slider displays its current numeric value. Indent levels accepts a number, and Skip empty lines is available as a checkbox.

Use the Quick presets when one of the displayed choices fits your task: 2 Spaces, 4 Spaces, 8 Spaces, 1 Tab, or Hanging Indent (MLA / APA). Review the selected mode and settings after applying a preset.

Format text

1. Select one of the six modes.
2. Adjust the controls shown for that mode. Set the indent character, spacing value, indent levels, and whether to skip empty lines when those controls are available.
3. Paste or type text into the left text area, or use Upload or Drop file if those controls suit your input.
4. Check the formatted result in the right text area.
5. Choose Copy or Download.

What to verify before relying on the output

• The page markup does not state which upload file types are accepted or which file format Download produces.
• The inspected implementation does not make the exact handling of existing indentation, empty lines, paragraph boundaries, or indentation depth clear for every mode.
• The Hanging Indent (MLA / APA) preset is a visible label. The inspected files do not establish citation-style compliance, an exact physical measurement, or support for other style guides.
• The inspected files do not establish whether text is uploaded, logged, stored, or retained. Do not treat the page as a statement of data-handling policy.
