Sentence Splitter
Split a paragraph of text into a numbered list of individual sentences using sentence-ending punctuation.
Extracted Sentences (3)
This is the first sentence.
Is this the second one?
Yes, it certainly is!
How to Use the Sentence Splitter
Paste a paragraph of text into the box on the left. The tool splits it into individual sentences using a simple, punctuation-based rule — it breaks the text wherever a period, exclamation mark, or question mark is followed by whitespace or the end of the text. Each extracted sentence is then listed as its own numbered item on the right, and you can copy the entire list at once with the "Copy All" button.
Example
Pasting "This is the first sentence. Is this the second one? Yes, it certainly is!" produces a numbered list of exactly three sentences: "This is the first sentence.", "Is this the second one?", and "Yes, it certainly is!"
Common Use Cases
- Breaking a long paragraph into individual sentences for editing one at a time.
- Extracting sentences from a block of text to build a list or dataset.
- Reviewing sentence-by-sentence structure when checking writing style or flow.
FAQs
- How is this different from the Sentence Counter? The Sentence Counter only reports how many sentences, words, and characters are in your text — it doesn't show you the individual sentences themselves. This Sentence Splitter's entire purpose is the opposite: producing the actual list of extracted sentences, one per line, ready to copy or review.
- Does it handle abbreviations like "Dr." or "e.g." correctly? Not perfectly — this tool uses a simple punctuation rule without any special handling for abbreviations, so a period inside an abbreviation may cause an early split. This keeps the logic fast and predictable for typical writing without heavy abbreviation use.
- Can I copy just one sentence instead of all of them? The Copy All button copies every extracted sentence at once, one per line; to copy just one, simply select and copy that sentence's text directly from the list.
