What the Text Shortener does
Word limits are everywhere: application forms, social posts, abstracts, product listings, slide notes. Cutting your own writing is hard because every sentence feels necessary. The text shortener removes filler, repetition and padding, tightens long sentences and keeps the points that matter, so your text fits the space without reading like a list of fragments.
Set a target by writing it at the top, such as under 100 words or 280 characters, and the tool aims for it. Without a target, it cuts the text roughly in half. It keeps your voice and the facts, names and numbers in the original. If something important was cut, add it back and shorten elsewhere, or run the tool again with a looser limit.
How to use it
01
Paste your text and add a target length if you have one.
02
Pick a tone if needed, then press Shorten.
03
Check nothing essential was lost and count the words before submitting.
What people use it for

Cut a long update down to fit a character limit and still read naturally.
Tighter emails
Turn a rambling email into a short message people will read to the end.
Questions
How short will my text get?
With no target, about half the length. Add a word or character limit to your input for a specific size.
Is this the same as summarising?
Not quite. It keeps your text as flowing prose in your voice and trims it, rather than turning it into a summary of points.
Will it hit my exact word count?
It aims close to the target, but counts can vary slightly. Check with a word counter before submitting.
Will it remove important facts?
It is told to keep key points, names and numbers. Read the result to confirm nothing you need was cut.
