How do I truncate text?

Paste your text in the input panel. Choose whether to limit by Characters or Words, then select a limit preset (50, 100, 140, 200, 280, or 500). The truncated output appears instantly.

Can I customize the ellipsis?

Yes. You can choose from '...', '…', ' [more]', or no ellipsis at all. The ellipsis is appended right after the cutoff point.

Is the text truncator free?

Yes, completely free. The truncation runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server, and no signup is required.
