Title Tag Length Checker
Measure your SEO title in characters and pixels with a live search-result preview, so it never gets cut off in Google.
Write titles Google will actually show
The title tag is the single most important on-page SEO element and the first thing a searcher reads. But Google doesn't cut titles at a fixed character count — it cuts them at a pixel width of around 580px, so a title full of wide letters can be truncated even when it looks short. This checker measures both the character count and the estimated pixel width, and renders a live search-result preview so you can see exactly where the cutoff falls.
Keep your primary keyword and brand near the front, aim for 50–60 characters, and watch the pixel meter stay in the green. Everything updates as you type, entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a title tag be?
Aim for roughly 50–60 characters, or about 580 pixels. Google truncates titles past that width in search results, so keep the important words near the front.
Does Google measure titles in characters or pixels?
Pixels, not characters — wide letters like W and M take more space than i or l. This checker estimates the pixel width so you can catch titles that fit the character limit but still get cut off.
What happens if my title is too long?
Google truncates it with an ellipsis or rewrites it entirely, so your carefully chosen wording may never be shown. Front-load your primary keyword and brand to stay safe.
Is this tool free and private?
Yes. The analysis runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
