Truncate Text
Text truncation shortens text to a fixed length and marks the cut with an ellipsis. This tool cuts text longer than 100 characters, or the length you set, so the result fits that length with three periods at the end. It counts each emoji or accented letter as one character and can cut in the middle of a word.
Includes the three-period ellipsis.
