About the Right-Align Text Tool
The Right-Align Text Tool helps you quickly right-align text within a specified width, padding it with spaces or a custom character on the left side — useful for formatting text, aligning data, or preparing output for other applications.
Right-aligning text by hand means counting characters and adding exactly the right amount of padding — tedious, and easy to get wrong once you're doing it for more than a line or two. This tool does that arithmetic for you: tell it the width and, optionally, a padding character other than a space, and it pads every line to line up perfectly, which is especially useful in monospace contexts like terminal output, plain-text tables, and fixed-width file formats.
