Share or export

Copy the preview as an image for client presentations, or share a pre-filled URL so clients can see it live.

Common questions

Why does this tool measure pixels instead of characters?

Google truncates based on pixel width, not character count. "W" takes far more space than "i". This tool renders your text at Google's actual font sizes and measures real pixel width.

Will Google always show my title and description?

Not always. Google rewrites titles around 20% of the time and descriptions more often. The better your snippet, the less likely they are to override it.

What's the ideal title length?

Under 580px on desktop, typically 50–60 characters. Keep your primary keyword near the front. The meter turns amber at 90% and red when over.

Does this tool store my data?

No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Refresh the page and it's gone.

Is this a meta description length checker too?

Yes. The meta description field has its own pixel meter, tuned to Google's roughly 920px desktop limit. Type past it and the meter turns amber, then red, so you know exactly where truncation hits.

Does this work as a mobile SERP simulator?

Yes. Switch the preview to Mobile to see your title and description exactly as they'd truncate on a phone screen. Mobile limits are shorter than desktop, so a title that fits on one can still get cut on the other.

What's the ideal meta description length?

Around 920px on desktop, which usually works out to 150–160 characters, but pixel width is what actually matters, since wide letters like W and M eat far more space than i or l. The meta description meter in this tool measures the real rendered width, not just a character count.

Does meta description affect SEO?

Not as a direct ranking factor. Google has confirmed it doesn't use meta description content to rank pages. It still matters indirectly: a compelling, correctly-truncated description improves click-through rate, and CTR is something Google does pay attention to over time.
