Frequently asked questions
Does the suffix count toward the character or word limit?
No — the limit applies to how much of the original text is kept, and the suffix is appended afterward, so the final output can run a little longer than the number you set.
Will it cut a word in half in character mode?
It can — character mode slices at an exact character position regardless of word boundaries, though it does trim any trailing whitespace left dangling at the cut before adding the suffix.
Can I change the "..." to something else?
Yes — the suffix field is editable, up to 10 characters, so you could use a single ellipsis character, " [more]", or anything else you'd prefer.
