Questions

Does the truncator break words?
You can choose between truncating at an exact character count (which may break words) or truncating at a word boundary so words are never cut in half.
Can I customize the ellipsis or suffix?
Yes, you can set any custom suffix such as "...", " [more]", or "---" to be appended when the text is truncated.
Does the character limit include the ellipsis?
Yes, the total output including the suffix stays within your specified character limit, so the final string will not exceed the boundary.
What is the text truncator useful for?
Common uses include trimming text for meta descriptions, social media previews, notification summaries, and any UI element that has a fixed display width.
