See how your title and meta description actually render in Google — measured in pixels, the way Google truncates them.

61px too long — Google will cut it. Trim roughly 8 characters. · 157 characters
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count — “Illinois” and “WWWWWWWW” are both eight characters and take very different space. That is why a 60-character rule of thumb sometimes cuts and sometimes leaves room.
Almost every "SEO title length" guide tells you to stay under 60 characters. Google does not count characters — it renders your title in Arial and cuts it when it exceeds the available pixel width. A title of 60 narrow characters fits comfortably; 55 wide ones get truncated. This tool measures the rendered width, so you find out before Google does.
Aim for roughly 50–60 characters, but verify by pixel width. The practical target is filling 90–100% of the available space without crossing it — that gives you the most room for keywords and context without truncation.
No. Google rewrites titles on roughly a third of queries, often substituting your H1 or the site name. Writing a title that fits and matches the page content makes a rewrite less likely.
Not directly — Google has confirmed meta descriptions are not a ranking factor. They affect click-through rate, which is worth optimizing on its own terms.
Mobile results wrap onto more lines, so a longer title survives. Because most searches are mobile, check both — a title that fits mobile can still be cut on desktop.
No. The measurement runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is submitted to a server or stored.
