What does right align text do?

Right aligning pads each line on the left with a fill character (space by default) until it reaches the column width you set. This creates a flush right margin — every line ends at the same column.

Frequently asked questions

What does right align text do?

Right aligning pads each line with spaces (or your chosen character) on the left until all lines end at the same column position. The column width is configurable and can be set automatically to the longest line.

How do I right-justify text to a fixed width?

Paste your text, set the column width, and the output updates instantly. Each line shorter than the width is padded on the left. Lines already at or over the width are not changed.

What padding characters can I use?

Any single character. Use space for standard right-alignment, 0 for zero-padded numbers, dot (.) for table leaders, dash (-) for separator effects, or type any custom character in the pad field.

What is auto-width?

When auto-width is enabled, the tool automatically sets the column width equal to the length of the longest line in your input. All shorter lines are then padded to match that width.
