Page Title

May 17, 2026 — Meta description — describe what this page is about in 150–160 characters for best results in Google search.

How Google truncates titles and descriptions

Title: approx. 600 pixels

Google truncates title tags by pixel width, not character count. A "W" is wider than an "i". The actual limit therefore varies between ~50 and ~65 characters depending on the character mix.

Description: approx. 920 pixels

Meta descriptions are cut off at approximately 920 pixels on desktop, slightly earlier on mobile. This corresponds to roughly 150–160 characters at normal character density.

Mobile vs. desktop

On mobile devices, both titles and descriptions are displayed shorter. A title that appears complete on desktop can already be truncated on mobile.

Writing better titles and meta descriptions

Title tag: what works

Place the keyword early. Brand name at the end. No keyword repetition. Give every page a unique title. Create click motivation without becoming clickbait.

Meta description: what works

State a concrete benefit, not just a description. Call to action at the end. Avoid duplicating the title. Numbers and specific details increase credibility and click-through rate.

What to avoid

No keyword stuffing. No generic text like "Welcome to our website". No duplicate meta descriptions across multiple pages. No descriptions unrelated to the actual page content.

Your page title and meta description are the first thing users see in Google search results, and they directly affect click-through rate. Google truncates titles at around 600 pixels and descriptions at around 920 pixels on desktop. This tool simulates exactly how your metadata will appear in search results using accurate pixel-width calculations — not character counts. Enter a URL to auto-fetch live metadata from your site, or type manually to preview changes before you publish them. Switch between desktop and mobile views.

Frequently asked questions

What is a meta description?+
The meta description is an HTML tag (<meta name="description" content="...">) in the head section of a page. It appears in Google search results below the title and URL and gives users a brief preview of the page content. It does not influence ranking but does affect click-through rate.
Does the meta description affect Google ranking?+
No. Google has confirmed multiple times that the meta description is not a direct ranking factor. However, it does influence click-through rate (CTR) in search results, which can indirectly be a signal for page relevance.
How long should a title tag be?+
Google displays title tags up to approximately 600 pixels wide in full. Depending on the character mix, this corresponds to between 50 and 65 characters. This tool calculates the actual pixel width, not just character count — for a more accurate preview.
Why does Google sometimes rewrite my title?+
Google can automatically rewrite title tags when the title is judged to be too long, irrelevant or misleading. Common triggers: keyword stuffing, a title that does not reflect the page content, or a title with no recognisable brand reference. A precise, informative title is less likely to be rewritten.
What is the difference between desktop and mobile preview?+
On mobile devices, Google has less space available. Titles are truncated at approximately 496 pixels wide (instead of 600 px), descriptions at approximately 680 pixels (instead of 920 px). A title that appears complete on desktop may be truncated on mobile.
