Truncate any text to a specific character, word, or sentence limit — with custom ellipsis and word-boundary awareness to avoid cutting in the middle of a word.
Truncate text by characters words or sentences · custom ellipsis · no mid-word breaks · copy result
Add any paragraph, article excerpt, product description, or content that needs trimming.
Enter the character, word, or sentence count limit. Toggle word-boundary awareness (so text doesn’t cut mid-word) and choose whether to append an ellipsis (…).
Get the trimmed text ready to use in your CMS, product listing, email, or meta field.
Character truncation cuts at a specific character count — useful for fields with hard character limits like meta descriptions, SMS messages, and database fields. Word truncation cuts after a specific number of words — produces more natural-sounding excerpts for blog post previews and card descriptions where exact character limits aren’t enforced.
Without word-boundary awareness, a 100-character limit might cut “magnificent” to “magnific” — mid-word. Word-boundary mode backs up to the last complete word before the limit, so the truncated text always ends cleanly even if it’s a few characters short of the limit.
Yes. Truncating by word count with an appended ellipsis is the standard technique for generating article excerpt previews — the kind that appear in blog post cards, search results, and RSS feeds. Set the word count to match your design’s available space and the tool handles the rest.

Truncation is a constant operation in content management — generating card excerpts from full articles, trimming product descriptions to fit a character limit, preparing meta description previews, and creating short versions of long-form content for social sharing. Doing it manually means counting characters or words and finding a natural cut point. This tool automates the cut with word-boundary awareness (no mid-word breaks) and optional ellipsis appending, producing clean, natural-looking truncated text for any limit you set.
All processing runs in your browser. Text is never uploaded or transmitted to any server.
