Title Tag Length Checker

Check title tag length in characters and estimated pixels to see which titles may be truncated in Google results.

What this tool does

Measures each title you enter in characters and approximate pixel width and flags titles that are very short or likely to be cut off in search results.

Who should use it

SEOs auditing titles in bulk and writers optimising a single headline for search.

How it works

Width is measured by drawing the title in Arial 20px on a canvas in your browser, which approximates Google's desktop title font; a character-width table is used if canvas is unavailable. Titles over about 600px are flagged as likely truncated; under 30 characters as short.

How to use it

  1. Enter or paste title tags in the form.
  2. Use "Load example" if you want to see how input should look.
  3. Press the run button. Processing happens instantly in your browser.
  4. Review the result panel, then copy or download the output if the tool offers it. Use Reset to start over.

Practical example

"Buy Running Shoes Online – Free Delivery on All Orders Over $50 | ExampleStore" is about 78 characters and likely exceeds 600px, so the end may show as "…".

Understanding the results

Status "May truncate" means the last words might not display. Truncation is not a penalty; it just hides text. Put the important words first.

Limitations

Google publishes no hard limit and often rewrites titles. Pixel measurements are estimates and vary by device and font.

Accuracy and report transparency

Results are computed in your browser from exactly what you enter. Deterministic steps (counting, parsing, encoding, validation) are verified by an automated test-suite with known answers. Where a method is a heuristic, the result panel says "estimated". No external data is used and nothing is invented.

Privacy

Your input never leaves your device for this tool. We count anonymous events (tool opened, run, copied) without storing what you typed. See the Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is 60 characters a rule?

No. It is a rough guide. Width in pixels matters more than the character count.

Is my data sent to your server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the text or files you enter stay on your device. We do record anonymous counts of how often each tool is opened or run (no input data) to see which tools are useful.

How accurate are the results?

Counting, parsing, encoding and validation steps are deterministic and covered by automated tests with known answers. Anything based on a heuristic is labelled "estimated" in the result panel.

Is this tool really free?

Yes. There is no account, limit or paid plan. The site is supported by advertising, which is disclosed on our Advertising Disclosure page.
