Frequently Asked Questions

Character mode truncates the text after a specific number of characters, while word mode truncates after a specific number of whole words. Word mode never cuts a word in half.

The suffix (e.g. "...") is appended to the end of the truncated text to indicate it was shortened. You can set it to any string or leave it empty.

No. The suffix is added after the text is truncated to the max length. The final output may be slightly longer than the max length because of the suffix.

If the text is already shorter than or equal to the maximum length, the original text is returned unchanged, without any suffix.

Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
