SEO Title Tag Checker
Enter a page title to see its character count and estimated pixel width, and whether it's likely to get cut off in Google's search results.
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count, which is why a title full of narrow letters (i, l, t) can fit at 65 characters while one full of wide letters (M, W) gets cut off at 50. This is an estimate, not Google's actual rendering, treat ~600px as a rough target rather than a hard limit.
Frequently asked questions
Why pixel width instead of just character count?+
Google truncates titles based on how much horizontal space they take up on the results page, not a fixed character count. A title full of narrow letters (i, l, t) fits more characters than one full of wide letters (M, W) before it gets cut off.
Is the pixel width shown here exact?+
No, it's an estimate based on typical character widths, not Google's actual font rendering. Treat the ~600px mark as a useful target, not a guaranteed cutoff line.
What happens when a title gets truncated?+
Google cuts it off, usually with an ellipsis, right on the results page, which often chops off exactly the part meant to be the hook. Front-loading the most important words protects against this.
