Check your meta description length in real time. See character count, word count, and estimated pixel width for desktop and mobile SERPs before you publish.
What it does
Check if your meta description fits inside Google's roughly 160-character, ~920-pixel desktop limit and the shorter mobile budget. The tool shows pixel width plus character count, with live previews for both form factors. Useful for writing descriptions that display fully, not cut off mid-sentence.
For titles, title tag length checker. For the full result row, SERP snippet preview. Learn what makes a good one in our guide on how to write a meta description.
