Write a meta description that shows in full instead of getting cut off in Google search results. Google typically displays around 155 to 160 characters on desktop and fewer on mobile, but the real limit is a pixel width across roughly two lines, so this tool measures both. Paste or type your description and it counts the characters, estimates the rendered pixel width, and tells you whether it fits or will be truncated with an ellipsis. A description that is too long wastes your best call to action, and one that is too short leaves the snippet looking thin. The tool highlights the sweet spot so you can front load your value proposition and keyword. Nothing is uploaded, everything is measured locally in your browser as you type.
