How It Works

The Truncate Text tool shortens your text to a specified maximum length, either by character count or word count. If the text exceeds the limit, it is cut and the suffix (default "...") is appended to indicate truncation.

When truncating by characters, the tool ensures the total output (including the suffix) does not exceed the specified length. When truncating by words, the tool keeps only the specified number of words and appends the suffix.

This tool is useful for:

  • Creating text previews or excerpts for blog posts and articles
  • Fitting content within character limits for social media, meta descriptions, or UI elements
  • Generating summary snippets from longer text

All processing runs entirely in your browser. No text is transmitted to any server.
