Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal meta title length?
Google truncates meta titles at roughly 580 pixels wide (rendered in Arial at 20px). This typically equates to 50–60 characters, but pixel width is the accurate measure - a title full of wide letters like W and M will be cut sooner than one using narrow letters. This tool measures pixel width directly, so you get an accurate result every time.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Meta descriptions are cut off at around 920 pixels (Arial at 14px), which is roughly 155–165 characters. Google can show longer descriptions on mobile, but keeping within the 920px limit ensures nothing is truncated on desktop. Aim to include your key message and a call-to-action within this limit.
Why does Google rewrite my meta title?
Google rewrites meta titles when it decides yours doesn't accurately represent the page. Common triggers include: titles that are too long or too short, keyword stuffing, generic phrases like "Welcome to our website", or titles that don't match the page's actual content. Keeping your title unique, concise and descriptive is the best way to avoid rewrites.
Does the meta description affect SEO rankings?
Google has confirmed that meta descriptions are not a direct ranking factor. However, a well-written description improves your click-through rate - and a higher CTR signals to Google that your result is relevant, which can indirectly improve your rankings over time. Think of your description as an ad for your page.
Why measure in pixels instead of characters?
Google doesn't count characters - it measures the rendered pixel width of your title in the font it uses to display results (Arial). A title of 60 characters could be perfectly fine or completely truncated, depending on which characters it contains. Pixel measurement is the only accurate method, which is why this tool uses the browser's Canvas API to render and measure your text exactly as Google would.
Is this tool really free?
