- Character counters warn you when a title or description is likely to get cut off.
FAQ
Why does Google sometimes show a different title or description than what I set?
Google occasionally rewrites a page's title or description in search results if it decides another piece of on-page text better matches the searcher's query. This tool shows what you've written, not a guarantee that Google will display it exactly as-is.
Why are the character limits approximate?
Google truncates by rendered pixel width, not a fixed character count — and pixel width depends on which specific characters you use (a title full of "i"s fits more characters than one full of "W"s). The 60/160 character limits used here are the widely-cited practical approximations most SEO tools use.
Does the URL breadcrumb format match Google exactly?
It approximates Google's common breadcrumb-style URL display (domain › path segments), which is one of a few formats Google uses depending on the page and device — treat it as a close approximation, not a pixel-perfect match.
Is my title or description sent anywhere?
No. The preview is generated entirely in your browser as you type — nothing is sent to Online Tool Store or any other server.
