Meta Length Counter — Title & Description Pixel + Character Checker

How it works
- Step 1 — Type your meta title, meta description, and page URL. Every keystroke re-measures.
- Step 2 — Optionally tune the pixel cutoffs (desktop Google truncates titles ~580px and descriptions ~920px).
- Step 3 — The tool renders a desktop Google result card with true pixel truncation (20px Arial for titles, 14px for descriptions) and flags each tag with a ✅ / ⚠️ / ❌ chip showing characters and pixels.
Everyday uses
- Content writers — finalize titles and descriptions that display in full.
- SEOs — bulk-check client pages without leaving the browser.
- Bloggers — write descriptions that actually get read instead of cut off mid-sentence.
- Developers — sanity-check CMS templates that auto-generate meta tags.
Rule of thumb: keep titles under ~550px and descriptions under ~880px for a safety margin — Google’s exact cutoff shifts slightly by query and device.
