Title Tag Pixel Width Checker — Free

Check your title tag’s real pixel width, the way Google actually measures truncation.

About this tool

See exactly how your title and meta description will render in a real Google search result — including whether they'll get cut off with an ellipsis — before you publish, rather than guessing from a character count.

The common mistake is assuming Google enforces a character limit. It doesn't: Google truncates by rendered pixel width, in the same font it displays search results in (Arial, at a specific size for titles and a smaller one for descriptions). Two titles with the identical character count can behave completely differently — one full of narrow letters like i and l fits comfortably, while one full of wide capitals and W's or M's gets cut off well before the same character count. This tool measures your actual text the same way, using the real font metrics, rather than a generic "60 characters" rule of thumb that misleads as often as it helps.

Desktop and mobile have meaningfully different limits (both narrower on mobile), which is why both previews are here separately rather than one generic estimate — a title that fits perfectly on desktop can still truncate on a phone.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my title truncate even though it’s under 60 characters?

Because Google measures pixel width, not character count — titles with wide letters (capitals, W, M) use up more pixel space per character than ones with narrow letters (i, l, t), so two titles of the same length can render very differently.

Are the pixel limits exact?

They’re close, well-established approximations used industry-wide (~600px desktop / ~500px mobile for titles, ~920px desktop / ~680px mobile for descriptions) — Google doesn’t publish exact numbers, and real rendering can vary slightly by device and query.

Does Google always use my exact title and description?

No — Google frequently rewrites titles it judges too long, vague, or keyword-stuffed, and often generates its own description snippet based on the search query rather than using yours verbatim. This tool shows what you’re asking for, not a guarantee of what will display.

Does this check my live page, or just the text I type?

Just the text you type or paste here — it doesn’t fetch or crawl your actual page.
