Why Google truncates by pixels, not characters
Google cuts titles at roughly 580 pixels of rendered width on desktop, not at a fixed character count - a title full of wide letters like W and M truncates sooner than one full of narrow letters. That is why "keep titles under 60 characters" is only a rule of thumb. This tool measures your actual rendered width the way Google does, so you know whether your full message survives or gets cut to an ellipsis mid-thought.
Writing snippets that earn the click
Your title and description are ad copy you do not pay for. Lead with the searcher's problem or the concrete outcome, put the distinctive part before the truncation point, and use the description to answer "why this result" - Google bolds query words it finds there. One caveat: Google rewrites descriptions for a majority of queries when it thinks page text matches better, so treat yours as the default pitch, not a guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Aim for under ~580 rendered pixels on desktop - usually 50-60 characters. Front-load the important words: even when a longer title truncates, the visible part can still win the click if the key message comes first.
Around 150-160 characters (under ~990 pixels) for desktop. Mobile shows slightly fewer. Going longer is not penalized - the text simply truncates - but the cut should never land in the middle of your main selling point.
Google rewrites descriptions for most queries when it judges that text from the page itself better matches the search. A well-written meta description still matters: it is the default for your core queries and the preview used by social shares and AI assistants.
Yes - the title is one of the strongest on-page relevance signals and the single biggest factor in whether a searcher picks your result. A title that fits, reads naturally, and contains the query intent beats a stuffed or truncated one on both counts.
