Measure your title tag and meta description in characters and Google pixel width. See exactly where they get cut off.

Both your title and description fit within Google's display limits on this device.
Google truncates by rendered width. We estimate per-character pixel width so wide letters don't surprise you.
Instant too short / optimal / truncated signals for both your title and description as you type.
Toggle devices to see where truncation happens on each — mobile cuts descriptions far sooner.
The counter shows character count and estimated pixel width against Google's ~580px title limit.
Watch the live char and pixel counts against the desktop (~920px) or mobile (~680px) limit.
Toggle desktop / mobile to confirm nothing important gets cut on the narrower mobile viewport.
Adjust wording until both meters show 'Optimal' and the preview displays in full, then copy your text.
Google displays roughly 580 pixels of your title tag — about 60 characters of average text. Anything past that limit is truncated with an ellipsis. Because Google measures pixels, not characters, a title full of wide letters (W, M, capitals) gets cut sooner than one full of narrow letters (i, l, t). Aim for 50-60 characters and keep your most important keyword near the front.
Google shows up to about 920 pixels on desktop (≈155-160 characters) and around 680 pixels on mobile (≈120 characters). Write descriptions between 120 and 155 characters so they display fully on both desktop and mobile, and put your key message and call-to-action early.
Google truncates by rendered width, not by character count. A 60-character title of narrow characters may fit easily, while a 55-character title of wide capital letters can be cut off. Counting only characters can mislead you — measuring pixel width (as this tool does) tells you whether your snippet will actually display in full.
Mobile has a narrower viewport, so Google cuts titles and descriptions sooner. Descriptions in particular drop from ~155 characters on desktop to roughly ~120 on mobile. Since most searches now happen on mobile, always check the mobile preview and front-load the words that matter.
Length is not a direct ranking factor, but it strongly affects click-through rate. A truncated title or description looks unpolished and can hide your value proposition, lowering CTR — which can indirectly hurt rankings. Well-sized, compelling snippets earn more clicks from the same position.
