Paste your text and set the max number of lines, and the tool renders a live truncated preview with the matching -webkit-line-clamp CSS.

Frequently asked questions

How does -webkit-line-clamp work?

Combined with display:-webkit-box and box-orient:vertical, it limits text to a number of lines and adds an ellipsis.

Is line-clamp widely supported?

The -webkit-line-clamp approach works across all modern browsers, including Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

Can I clamp to a single line?

Yes, set the line count to 1, though single-line truncation can also use text-overflow:ellipsis.
