Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online sentence splitter.
Paste your text and press the split button. Every sentence is placed on its own line ready to
copy.
A full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark ends a sentence, and runs such as three
dots stay together.
The tool knows titles and short forms such as Mr, Dr, St, e.g and i.e, so a full stop after
them does not start a new line.
Yes. A single capital letter followed by a full stop, as in J. Smith, is treated as an
initial and not a sentence end.
No. A full stop sitting between two digits is part of the number and never ends a sentence.
Yes. Leave the punctuation box ticked and each line keeps its final full stop, question mark
or exclamation mark.
No. The split runs entirely in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
Yes. The sentence splitter is responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktop browsers.
