What the SEO Character Counter does
This tool counts the characters and pixel width of your title tag and meta description in real time, against the limits search engines use. It tells you instantly whether each one is too short, within range, or long enough to be truncated in search results.
When to use it
- When drafting title tags and meta descriptions for a new page.
- To tighten a title that's being cut off in Google.
- To make sure a meta description is long enough to earn the click but short enough to show in full.
Characters and pixels
Character count is a useful guide, but search engines truncate by pixel width. This counter shows both, so you can keep titles around 50–60 characters and descriptions around 120–155 while still respecting the pixel limits that decide what actually displays.
