Meta Title Length Checker

Why pixel width beats character count

Google's SERP renders titles in an Arial-like proportional font. The same 60-character title can fit comfortably or get truncated depending on which letters it contains — a title full of W and M consumes nearly twice the horizontal space of one packed with i, l and punctuation. The cut-off is around 580 px on desktop and roughly 78 characters on mobile; this tool checks both, so you never ship a title that ends mid-word.

When to use this

Use it when drafting any new page title, when localising an English page to Hindi or Tamil (Devanagari and Tamil scripts have different widths than Latin), and when reviewing existing pages where CTR has dropped — a silently truncated title is a common, invisible cause of lost clicks. Pair it with the Google SERP preview to see how the final SERP card looks, and read how Google truncates title tags in 2026 for the underlying mechanics.

Quick rules of thumb

• Lead with the primary keyword — Google weights the first 4–5 words highest.
• Append a clear brand identifier at the end (e.g., | Free Indian Tools) for branded recall.
• Avoid pipes | stacked more than twice — they fragment the visual scan.
• Don't mirror the H1 verbatim — the title is for searchers, the H1 is for readers on the page.
