Meta title & description length checker
See how your title tag and meta description will actually be truncated in search results — measured in rendered pixel width, not character count, because pixel width is what really determines the cut.
Your text never leaves your browser.
This looks like non-Latin script (CJK, Arabic, or Hebrew). The pixel limits on this page are calibrated for Latin text — non-Latin scripts render at very different widths, so treat these measurements as unreliable here.
Your text contains an emoji. Emoji measure wide and can render differently across devices and search results, so treat the pixel measurement as a rough guide rather than an exact figure.

The brand suffix is included in the title above because most CMSes append it automatically — it counts toward truncation exactly as if you'd typed it yourself.
Why pixels, not characters
Character-count limits are wrong because letters don't take up the same space. "Illinois" and eight capital M's are both eight characters — and they render at very different widths, because an "i" is a sliver and an "M" is nearly as wide as it is tall. A limit measured in characters treats them as identical. A limit measured in rendered pixels, which is what actually determines where a search result gets cut, doesn't.
Where these limits come from
Google doesn't publish an exact pixel limit for titles or descriptions, and it rewrites both frequently regardless of length — a title that fits can still get replaced if Google decides a different phrase matches the search intent better. The figures used here are observed conventions, not documented guarantees: roughly 580px for a desktop title, 920px on mobile, 920px for a desktop description, and 1,300px on mobile, measured in the approximate font Google renders results in. Full measurement assumptions, with the date they were last checked, are on the methodology page.
Truncation lands on a word boundary
When a title or description doesn't fit, this tool cuts it at the last space that keeps it under the limit, then appends an ellipsis — never mid-word. That's also roughly how Google truncates in practice, though Google's own algorithm isn't public either.
The brand suffix
Most content management systems append a site name to every title automatically (" | Your Site Name"). That suffix counts toward the same pixel budget as the rest of the title, so it's measured together with what you type — enter it separately above to see exactly how much room it's taking up.
