The tool measures pixel width using the selected font and size.
Each title gets a PASS, WARN or FAIL badge with exact px counts.
Google truncates page titles in search results when they exceed pixel-width limits — around 580px for desktop and 920px for mobile. This tool measures your titles using the same font rendering approach, giving you accurate pass/warn/fail feedback before you publish.
Google generally displays titles up to 580px wide on desktop. In practice, that translates to roughly 50–60 characters for most Latin-script text. Shorter titles (under 30 chars) may be considered thin; longer ones get truncated with an ellipsis.
Google measures title width in pixels, not characters. A string of wide letters like "W" and "M" can hit the limit far sooner than narrow letters like "i" and "l". Pixel measurement reflects what users actually see in the SERP.
WARN means your title is within 90–100% of the desktop limit — it may display fine on desktop but could be cut on some devices or in certain contexts. FAIL means the title exceeds 580px and will definitely be truncated in desktop search results.
No — Google's cutoff varies slightly based on device, browser font rendering, and SERP layout changes. 580px is the widely documented desktop limit; 920px applies to mobile results. Treat these as guidelines, not hard rules.
Yes. Enter each title on a new line and click Check Titles. The tool processes all lines and shows a summary bar with pass, warn and fail counts, plus individual cards for each title.
Google's SERP has historically used Arial at around 20px. Select "Arial (Google default)" for the most representative measurement. Roboto and system-ui options are provided for comparison if your CMS renders titles differently.
Google may rewrite titles that are too long, stuffed with keywords, or don't match page content. Keeping your title within the pixel limit reduces the chance of rewriting, though Google can still choose to display a different title regardless.
Completely free, browser-based, and no sign-up required. All measurement happens client-side using the Canvas API — your titles are never sent to any server.
A title tag length checker is an SEO tool that measures the display width of your HTML <title> elements and compares them against the pixel limits Google uses when rendering search result snippets. Unlike simple character counters, a pixel-based checker accounts for the fact that different letters occupy different widths — an "M" is roughly three times wider than an "i" — giving you an accurate prediction of how your title will appear in the SERP before you publish.

Your page title is the single most visible element of a search result listing. It's the large blue (or purple) hyperlink text that users scan to decide whether to click. When that text gets cut off mid-word with an ellipsis, it signals to the reader that something important was left out — and click-through rates suffer as a result.
Google enforces pixel-width limits rather than character limits because search results are rendered in a proportional font. The documented desktop cutoff is approximately 580px wide, which typically accommodates 50–60 characters of normal English prose. On mobile, Google gives titles a wider container — roughly 920px — so a title that truncates on desktop may display in full on a phone. Understanding both limits helps you craft titles that perform across all devices.
Google's desktop search results display titles in a container approximately 600px wide, but the effective cutoff for most titles is around 580px when you account for padding and rendering variance. Mobile search results use a wider container — typically allowing up to 920px — because the title wraps to two lines rather than being cut to one.
This asymmetry means your optimization strategy should prioritize desktop: if your title passes the 580px desktop limit, it will almost certainly display in full on mobile too. If it fails desktop but passes mobile, users on phones will see the full title while desktop users see a truncated version — a common scenario for long, informational titles.
Many SEO guides recommend keeping titles between 50 and 60 characters. This is a useful rule of thumb, but it's not universally accurate. A 55-character title written with many wide uppercase letters and spaces can exceed 580px, while a 65-character title composed of narrow lowercase letters might fit comfortably. The character count guideline assumes average letter widths, which holds reasonably well for typical English sentences but breaks down for titles that are heavily capitalised, use numerals, or include non-Latin characters.
Pixel measurement eliminates this ambiguity. By rendering the title text to a hidden canvas element using the same font and size Google applies, the tool produces an exact pixel width — not an estimate.
Modern browsers expose the Canvas 2D API, which includes a measureText() method that returns the rendered width of a string in a given font. This tool uses that API with Arial at 20px — the closest approximation to Google's SERP rendering — to calculate the exact pixel width of your title string. The result is compared against three thresholds: pass (under 520px, comfortably safe), warn (520–580px, close to the limit), and fail (over 580px, will be truncated on desktop).
A well-optimised title tag does three things simultaneously: it targets a primary keyword, it communicates the page's unique value proposition, and it fits within the display limit. Here are the principles that help:
Since 2021, Google has applied a title rewriting system that generates new title text from page headings, anchor text, and other on-page signals when the existing <title> tag is deemed unsuitable. Common triggers include: titles that are too long or truncated, titles that don't match the page's H1, keyword-stuffed titles, and titles with excessive boilerplate or all-caps text.
Keeping your title within the pixel limit is a necessary but not sufficient condition for avoiding rewriting. You also need to ensure the title is semantically relevant to the page content and matches how users describe your topic in search queries. A title that passes the 580px check but reads as thin or misleading may still be rewritten.
For larger sites, running a bulk audit is the most efficient approach. Export your page titles from your CMS, Google Search Console, or a crawl tool like Screaming Frog. Paste the list into this checker — one title per line — and review the summary counts. Start by fixing all FAIL items (those over 580px), then work through the WARN items to create additional headroom. Copy the report to track changes over time.
