Using Truncate Text to Protect Your Design Layout

The Truncate Text feature controls how many lines of text are displayed inside a text box. When enabled, any extra content is automatically hidden and replaced with an ellipsis (“…”), keeping your AI-generated or structured designs clean and visually consistent.

This is especially useful when working with dynamic content, templates, or AI-generated designs where text length may vary. Truncating text ensures your layout stays intact without breaking formatting or spacing.

Note: This feature is available to all users.

1
Open your project in the Visme Editor.

2
Select the text box you want to modify.

3
The left-side menu will appear automatically, where you can access and customize the text settings.

4
Turn the Truncate Text Box switch ON.

5
Use the slider to set the number of visible text lines, ensuring your design’s layout and spacing remain consistent.

How Truncate Text Works

– It limits the number of visible rows in a text box.

– Additional rows are not deleted — just hidden.

– An ellipsis (“…”) appears at the end of the visible content.

– The layout, spacing, and formatting of your design remain protected.

Note: If you’re using Visme’s AI Writer to generate text for your designs, enabling Truncate Text is highly recommended. It helps keep your AI-generated content neat and prevents long text from breaking your layout or spacing. This ensures your designs look polished and professional every time, even with dynamic or unpredictable text lengths.
