Why use the text truncator tool from Super Utility Hub?
Previews, meta snippets, and UI labels all demand shorter text. This tool cuts any text to a character limit you choose — with a custom suffix for a polished cut (“…”, “Read more”, “Continue”).
Truncation is done on actual characters (not bytes), so emojis and accented letters never split in half.

- Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS

Frequently asked questions
Does the suffix count toward the limit?
No — the limit applies to the content, and the suffix is added on top.
Is anything truncated when the text fits?
No — text shorter than the limit is returned unchanged, without the suffix.
Can I truncate by words instead?
Not currently — this tool cuts by characters. Word-count truncation works well with the word counter and manual trimming.
