How to use the meta tag generator
Type your title and description. The bars show the length in characters and an estimate of the pixel width. Fill in the canonical URL, an optional social image and site name, choose a robots value and copy the HTML into your page head or SEO plugin.
How long should a title and meta description be?
Google does not publish a fixed character limit. It truncates snippets by available width, so pixel width is a better guide than characters. Commonly used working limits are about 600 pixels for titles and about 920 pixels for descriptions on desktop. This tool estimates width using Arial at the sizes Google has used, so treat the numbers as a guide. Google may also rewrite titles and descriptions when it thinks another text fits the search better.
Writing tips
Put the main keyword near the start of the title, keep each page’s title unique, and write the description as a short pitch that matches the search intent. Avoid stuffing keywords; Google’s guidance asks for descriptive, concise titles.
Meta tag generator FAQ
Is this meta tag generator free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser.
How many characters should a title tag have?
There is no official limit. Google truncates by pixel width, and a working guide is about 600 pixels, which is often around 50 to 60 characters.
How long should a meta description be?
Google has no fixed limit. A working guide is about 920 pixels on desktop, often around 150 to 160 characters. Shorter is fine if it describes the page well.
Why does Google show a different title or description?
Google can rewrite titles and snippets when it thinks other text from the page better matches the query.
Do meta keywords matter?
No. Google has said it does not use the meta keywords tag for ranking, so this tool does not generate it.
