Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my text is already shorter than the limit?
The tool will show the original text unchanged—no ellipsis is added unless the text actually gets cut.
Can I truncate without adding an ellipsis?
Yes, the ellipsis is optional and can be toggled off via the “Append ellipsis” checkbox.
Does the tool count spaces and punctuation as characters?
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.
