Our free Text Truncator cuts text strings down to an exact character count limit. Perfect for creating SEO meta description previews, UI card excerpts, and social media captions. Runs 100% locally in browser memory with real-time updates.
Type or paste your long text block into the left panel.
Set your desired max character limit threshold in the options panel.
Click "Truncate" and copy the trimmed text snippet to your clipboard.
Set custom character limits (e.g. 50, 160, 280 chars) to meet social media and SEO character constraints.
Cleanly truncates text while appending trailing ellipsis marks to indicate continuous content.
Text truncation runs strictly inside client JavaScript without transmitting content across servers.
Word-Boundary vs. Hard Character Truncation: Truncating long text blocks can be performed at hard character limits or soft word boundaries. Word-Boundary Truncation ensures partial words are not cut mid-character (e.g., truncating "information" cleanly to "info..." rather than "infor..."), preserving readability across web snippets and cards.
Custom Ellipsis (...) & Text Tail Suffixes: Customizing tail markers allows developers and publishers to append HTML entities (…), read-more links ("[Read More]"), or custom trailing strings to truncated excerpts.
Zero-Upload Local Memory String Clamping: Large article excerpts, blog summaries, and UI card descriptions are truncated 100% locally in web browser RAM tab memory. No string content or truncated text outputs are ever transmitted to remote servers.
