Text Truncator

Truncate text to a maximum character, word, or line count

0 chars

Text truncation is essential when displaying user-generated content in UI components with fixed space — card previews, notification messages, meta descriptions, and tweet-style inputs all have character limits. Truncating by words is more readable than by characters since it avoids cutting words in the middle. Truncating by lines is useful for log displays or collapsible text sections. The suffix (typically "...") signals to readers that the content continues.
