About this tool
Google truncates titles by pixel width, around 580 to 600 pixels on desktop, rather than by character count, so a title full of narrow letters can be longer than one with wide letters. The tool measures your title in a similar font to estimate the width. Descriptions are cut at roughly 155 to 160 characters.
Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions, so treat the preview as a guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is my title cut off?
- It is probably wider than about 600 pixels. Shorten it or move important words to the front.
- Does Google always use my description?
- Not always. It may pick text from the page when that matches the query better.
