Check whether your page title fits Google's typical search-result pixel width before it gets truncated.
Google truncates search-result titles by rendered pixel width, not character count -- so a title with wide characters (like capital W's) can get cut off well before a fixed character limit, while a title full of narrow characters (like lowercase i's) can fit even past that limit. This tool measures your title's actual rendered pixel width using 20px Arial in your browser, so you can check for truncation risk more accurately than a plain character counter.
Type or paste your page title. The measured pixel width, compared against a typical ~600px SERP limit, appears instantly with a visual fit indicator.
Your title is measured with the browser's canvas text engine using Arial at 20 pixels, and the width is compared with a 600 pixel limit. The result panel shows the rounded width as a number out of 600, coloured green when the text fits and red when it does not, plus a progress bar that fills toward the limit. The 20 pixel size is what this tool uses in practice, even though the description above mentions a smaller size; treat the number as a relative gauge, not an official Google figure. If Arial is not installed on your device, the browser substitutes a similar font, which can shift the measurement slightly.
Consider two hypothetical titles of about the same length in characters. One is written mostly in narrow letters such as i, l, t and r, and the other has several capital letters and the letters m and w. The narrow-letter title may measure noticeably less than the capital-heavy one. A character counter would score them almost equally, while the pixel measurement separates them. Use the tool to test variants of one title, trimming a word at a time, and pick the version that stays within the limit while keeping the main keyword near the start.
Search engines do not publish their exact rendering rules, and the visible limit changes with device, language and layout updates. Mobile results may wrap or truncate differently from desktop. Because the tool measures with your own browser, results on another operating system can vary by a few pixels. Use it to compare drafts and to avoid obvious overflow, and confirm real-world appearance by searching for your page once it is indexed. Pixel width is also only one aspect of a good title: it should describe the page accurately and be written for people first.
Use this tool together with a character-count checker if you also need to satisfy a content management system limit, and with a meta description checker for the snippet beneath the title. Since width and character count measure different things, a title can pass one and fail the other.
It's a close approximation using a common SERP font/size assumption (Arial at 20px against a 600px limit) -- Google's actual rendering isn't publicly documented pixel-for-pixel and can vary by device/locale, so treat the result as a strong guide rather than an absolute guarantee.
A character counter treats every character as equal width, which isn't how text actually renders -- this tool measures real rendered pixel width, which is what Google's truncation is actually based on.
It measures with Arial at 20 pixels against a 600 pixel limit. Real search results may use a different size, so use the figure to compare drafts, not as an exact promise.
Rendering varies by device, font and layout, and search engines sometimes rewrite titles. Leave some spare width and check the live result.
Yes. Every character, including spaces, pipes and dashes, contributes to the measured width.
