Truncation is measured in pixels, not characters — exactly how Google cuts titles.

How it works
Google does not cut titles at a character count — it cuts them at a pixel width, which is why a title full of Ws and Ms disappears sooner than one full of is and ls. This checker measures your title tag with the real Arial advance-width metrics Google’s desktop results use (Arial 20 px, truncating around 600 px) and the mobile layout (Arial 18 px, around 920 px), then shows the exact point where the text would be replaced by an ellipsis.
The width table is built into the page, so the numbers are identical on every device and do not depend on which fonts you happen to have installed — a canvas-based measurement would quietly change from machine to machine. Type and everything updates instantly: the pixel counter, the meter, the SERP preview and the copyable report. Your title, description and URL are never uploaded, there is no account and no ads, so you can safely check unpublished pages and client drafts. Aim for roughly 285–600 px on desktop, front-load your primary keyword, and remember Google may still rewrite a title it considers unhelpful.
Frequently asked questions
How many pixels can a title tag be in Google?
Google truncates desktop titles at roughly 600 pixels, measured in Arial at 20px — not at a fixed character count. On mobile the line is wider, around 920 pixels at 18px. This checker shows both widths at once and marks the exact point where your title would be replaced by an ellipsis, so a title packed with wide letters like W and M is caught even when its character count looks safe.
Why measure a title in pixels instead of characters?
Because glyphs have different widths. "Illinois Willow Mill" and "WWW MMM WWW MMM" are both 20 characters, yet one is far wider on screen and gets cut first. Google lays out results in a proportional font and truncates on width, so a character limit is only a rough proxy. This tool uses the real Arial advance-width metrics, which is why its numbers line up with what you actually see in the results page.
Is this title tag checker private and free?
Yes. It is completely free with no account and no ads, and every measurement runs in JavaScript inside your own browser — your title, meta description and URL are never uploaded. That means you can safely check staging pages, unpublished drafts and client work. The Arial width table is built into the page too, so results are identical on every device instead of depending on the fonts you happen to have installed.
