CSS Line Clamp Generator
Generate ellipsis and line-clamp CSS for overflowing text.
Truncate text with a clean ellipsis
Cutting a card description or preview to a fixed number of lines with a trailing ellipsis is a common need and a fiddly bit of CSS involving -webkit-line-clamp and a few supporting properties. This generator builds that recipe for you from a single line-count input.
Getting all the required properties right by memory is error-prone, so a ready snippet saves the trip to documentation. Set how many lines to allow and copy the CSS onto any text container to clamp overflow neatly.
Copy-ready line-clamp
The clamp relies on -webkit-line-clamp with display: -webkit-box, which is widely supported despite the prefix. The CSS is generated in your browser.
