Center Unicode

The Center Unicode tool gives you pixel-perfect control over how your Unicode text is aligned. Each line is padded left and right to center its contents visually, making it ideal for logs, diagrams, code formatting, or any data you want to line up with precision. You can set your own pad character, define a target width, and adjust whether trimming and empty lines should be processed. It’s all real-time, safe, and simple to use with imports, exports, and a live flashing preview.

Paste your input above or import a file below.

Common Use Cases:

Use Center Unicode when you want neat, visual symmetry across multiple lines of Unicode text. It’s useful for building console UIs, formatting poems, structuring diagrams, or displaying symbols in columns. Especially handy for combining emoji, East Asian characters, and wide scripts into evenly aligned output.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Once you’ve centered your text, Tabs to Spaces can help keep the layout consistent, especially if you’re working in an editor that doesn’t handle tabs well. And if things still look off, Convert Unicode to a String Literal can reveal hidden characters messing with your alignment.
