Ultimate Guide: Right-align Text Online
Right-aligning text is often used for financial reports, poetry, or creating visual hierarchy in text documents. Our Right-align Text Tool makes this process effortless with smart padding logic.
Alignment Modes Explained
- Auto Width (Match Longest Line): This smart mode scans your text to find the longest line. It then calculates exactly how much padding every other line needs to align perfectly with that longest line on the right side.
- Fixed Width: Need your text to fit a specific column width (e.g., 80 characters for code comments or terminals)? Set a custom width, and we'll pad or truncate accordingly.
Creative Uses
Beyond standard alignment, you can use the Custom Padding Character feature to create:
- Dot Leaders: Use '.' as padding to create table-of-contents style lists (e.g., "Chapter 1.........Page 5").
- Visual Dividers: Use '-' or '_' for unique text styling.
- Code Formatting: Align comments or variable assignments in your code.
