Free SEO Title Pixel Checker

Google truncates titles based on rendered pixel width, not character count — a title full of wide letters like "W" and "M" can get cut off well before 60 characters, while a title of narrow letters like "i" and "l" can run longer and still fit. This tool measures the actual pixel width in the font Google's search results use. For a simpler character-count check, see the Meta Title Checker.

How to check a title's pixel width

  1. 1

    Enter your title

    Type or paste the title tag you're considering for the page.

  2. 2

    Pick desktop or mobile

    Google's pixel cutoff is narrower on mobile, so check both if the page gets significant mobile traffic.

  3. 3

    Watch the pixel bar

    It fills toward the limit as you type and turns red once the title is likely to be truncated.

  4. 4

    Trim until it fits

    Shorten or reword the title, favoring narrower letters where it helps, until the bar stays under the limit.

Example use cases

1

Publishing a new page

Confirm the exact title won't be cut off before it goes live, not just an estimate from character count.

2

Auditing titles with wide characters

Catch titles heavy on capital letters or wide characters (W, M, O) that character counters miss.

3

A/B testing title copy

Compare pixel widths of a few title variations to see which one actually fits.

Frequently asked questions

Why pixel width instead of character count?

Google renders search result titles in a proportional font, where a "W" takes up roughly three times the width of an "i". Two titles with the same character count can end up very different widths on screen, so pixel width is the more accurate way to predict truncation.

What pixel limits does this use?

Roughly 600px for desktop and 340px for mobile, measured in a common SERP-style sans-serif font at typical search result sizes. These are close approximations — Google doesn't publish an exact number, and its layout has changed over time, so treat the limit as a guideline rather than a guarantee.

Is this an exact simulation of Google's results page?

No — it's a close approximation using canvas text measurement in a similar font and size. Google's actual rendering can vary slightly by device, browser, and ongoing layout changes.

My title is under 60 characters but still shows as truncated. Why?

That's exactly the gap this tool is built to catch — a title can be well under the common "60 character" rule of thumb and still exceed the pixel width limit if it's made up of wider letters.
