0px of 600px budget
Enter some text to measure it.
0 characters. Width is measured with a canvas using the same font Google uses for results (Arial). Budgets are community guidance figures, not Google guarantees.
- 1Type or paste the title or description text.
- 2Choose what to measure it as: a desktop or mobile title, or a desktop or mobile description.
- 3Read the measured width against the budget bar.
- 4Shorten or reword the text until it fits, keeping the important words at the front.
Paste a draft title and leave the profile on "Title, desktop". The checker measures it at 20px Arial and plots it against the 600px budget. If the bar turns red and reports the text is over budget, those extra pixels are roughly what a desktop result would cut off, so you shorten the title and measure again.
- Measurement happens with your browser's canvas and the real Arial font, so results match what browsers render; if Arial is missing, the system substitute font is used.
- The budgets (about 600px for a desktop title, 960px for a desktop description) are widely used community guidance, not figures Google publishes or guarantees.
- Google truncates based on the whole result layout, so treat a small margin under the budget as safer than landing exactly on it.
Characters have different widths. Ten W's are far wider than ten i's, and Google cuts text by width. Two 55-character titles can therefore behave completely differently.
About this tool
The SERP Pixel Width Checker measures exactly how wide a title or description renders in pixels, using a canvas with the same Arial font Google uses for search results. It compares the measurement against the commonly used budgets for desktop and mobile so you can fix truncation before you publish.
