Why pixels matter more than characters
Google cuts snippets by rendered width, not character count. A title full of wide letters like "W" and "M" truncates earlier than one with narrow letters. This tool measures your text in Google's SERP font (Arial 20px for titles, 14px for descriptions) against the real desktop limits — so what you see here is what searchers will see.
Snippet FAQ
How long should a title tag be?
Google truncates titles by pixel width (~580px on desktop), not characters. That's usually 50–60 characters, but wide letters fill the space faster — which is why this tool measures pixels, not just characters.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 120–160 characters (~990px, about two desktop lines). Google rewrites descriptions for many queries, but a sharp, relevant description still wins clicks when it is used.
Does Google always use my title and description?
No. Google rewrites titles for roughly a third of pages and descriptions even more often, usually when they're too long, too generic or don't match the query. Clear, specific snippets get kept more often.
