How do you truncate text?

A text truncate tool shortens text to a set number of characters and adds an ellipsis or custom suffix. Snabbit lets you choose the length, keep whole words instead of cutting mid-word, and pick the suffix, which is handy for previews, meta descriptions and table cells. It runs in your browser, so your text stays private.

How to use the Text Truncate

  1. 1 Paste the text you want to shorten.
  2. 2 Set the maximum character length and choose a suffix.
  3. 3 Optionally keep whole words so nothing is cut mid-word.
  4. 4 Copy the truncated text.

What you can use it for

  • Trimming text for previews and snippets.
  • Fitting meta descriptions to a character limit.
  • Shortening labels for tables or buttons.
  • Capping user-generated text length.

Frequently asked questions

Does the suffix count toward the length?
The length sets how much of your original text is kept; the suffix, such as an ellipsis, is then appended after that cut, so the final string can be slightly longer.
What does “keep whole words” do?
When enabled, the tool backs up to the last space before the limit so the text never ends in a half-word, then adds the suffix.
Can I change the ellipsis?
Yes. The suffix field accepts any text — a three-dot ellipsis, “ (more)”, or nothing at all if you want a clean cut.
