Quickly shorten any text to an exact length by characters or words and append an ellipsis. Perfect for social media posts, meta descriptions, excerpts, or any content that needs to fit a strict limit. Copy the result or download it as a `.txt` file—all without leaving your browser.
The tool will show the original text unchanged—no ellipsis is added unless the text actually gets cut.
Yes, the ellipsis is optional and can be toggled off via the “Append ellipsis” checkbox.
In character mode, every character counts, including spaces, punctuation, and line breaks. In word mode, words are separated by whitespace and punctuation boundaries are preserved.
