Truncate Text Online Free
Cut text to a maximum length in characters, words, or lines.
What is Truncate Text?
Trims text to a maximum length measured in characters, words, or lines. Optionally appends an ellipsis to indicate truncation. Useful for generating preview snippets, meta descriptions, and tweet-length content.
Common Use Cases
Generating preview snippets for blogs, trimming meta descriptions to 160 chars, cutting tweet content to 280 characters, limiting form input previews, and processing data.
How It Works
Measures length in the chosen unit (characters/words/lines), slices at the limit, and optionally appends "…" if the text was shortened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I truncate from the end?
By default text is kept from the start. A "truncate from end" option removes characters from the beginning instead.
Does it add ellipsis automatically?
Yes — there is a toggle to append "…" when the text is truncated.
