Getting close to the limit — consider trimming a little.
Enter a meta description to instantly see its character count and estimated rendered pixel width, compared against Google's roughly 920-pixel search snippet limit. A color-coded status helps you know when your description is safe, borderline, or likely to be truncated.
How to use
- Type or paste your meta description.
- Check the character count and pixel width.
- Adjust the text until the status shows green.
Frequently asked questions
- Why use pixel width instead of character count?
- Google truncates descriptions based on rendered pixel width, so pixel width is a more accurate predictor of truncation than a fixed character limit.
- What's the ideal meta description length?
- Aiming for roughly 120-158 characters generally keeps you well under the ~920px cutoff, though actual width depends on which letters you use.
- What happens if my description is too long?
- Google will typically truncate it with an ellipsis in search results, which can cut off important information or your call to action.
