How to use this tool
- Choose whether the limit counts visible characters or words.
- Set the limit and optional suffix.
- The suffix counts toward a character limit; word mode treats it as punctuation following the final word.
Things to know
- Character limits count grapheme clusters, not bytes or UTF-16 code units.
- Each text input accepts up to 5 MiB. Output is limited to 25 MiB and combined text settings to 1 MiB.
