Crafting search engine meta descriptions, social media post excerpts, SMS notifications, and card preview teasers requires restricting text to strict length thresholds. This string truncator trims text passages to exact character or word counts in real time, automatically appending ellipsis indicators when boundaries are exceeded.

### Truncation Modes & Boundary Rules The utility provides two distinct truncation methods: - **Character Count Mode (chars):** Slices text to an exact character index using `text.slice(0, limit)`. If the text length exceeds the threshold, it appends `...` to signal truncation. Ideal for SEO page titles (60 characters) and meta descriptions (155–160 characters). - **Word Count Mode (words):** Splits text by whitespace tokens into an array of words, takes the first N words, rejoins them with spaces, and appends `...`. Ideal for blog excerpt teasers and card summary widgets. - **Dynamic Limit Input:** A numerical input field lets you set custom thresholds from 1 to 5,000 units. - **Copy to Clipboard:** A dedicated copy button copies the truncated snippet directly to your clipboard.

### Worked Truncation Example Suppose you have the sentence: `Ubify Tools provides instant, client-side developer, text, math, and media utilities engineered for zero latency and complete privacy.` (125 characters, 17 words) 1. **Character Mode with Limit = 60:** Output: `Ubify Tools provides instant, client-side developer, text, ma...` 2. **Word Mode with Limit = 8:** Output: `Ubify Tools provides instant, client-side developer, text, math,...` 3. The truncated result updates immediately as you adjust the number slider.

### Client-Side Execution Notice All string splitting, array slicing, and character length evaluations operate 100% in local browser JavaScript. No text snippets or truncated excerpts are transmitted over the network.
