Bulk title and meta description length checker

Paste many pages at once and see which titles and descriptions will truncate in Google search results, measured in pixels.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored.

URLTitleTitle widthDescriptionDescription width

Uses the same canvas pixel-width measurement as thesingle-page SERP preview tool- check one page there, check many pages here.

Key takeaways

  • Checking one page at a time hides a pattern that only shows up across many pages, such as a CMS template that always produces a title too long to fit.
  • Every title and description is measured in pixels with the same canvas technique as the single-page SERP preview tool, not by counting characters.
  • Rows that would truncate on the selected device are highlighted, so a large batch of pages can be scanned for problems in seconds.
  • Nothing typed into this tool is sent anywhere; every measurement happens in your browser.

What it takes

  • A list of pages, one per line, formatted as URL | Title | Description

How to use it

  1. 1Export your titles and descriptionsPull the URL, title tag and meta description for each page from your CMS export or a crawl, one row per page.
  2. 2Paste rows in the URL | Title | Description formatUse a pipe character to separate the three fields on each line. A line with fewer than three fields is flagged instead of breaking the table.
  3. 3Switch between desktop and mobileMobile allows less width, so a title that fits on desktop can still truncate on mobile. Check both before shipping a template.
  4. 4Scan the highlighted rowsRows where the title or description would truncate are marked, so a batch of dozens of pages can be triaged at a glance.

Most title and description problems are not written by a person typing into one field, they are generated by a template. A product page layout that always appends ”| Brand Name - Free Shipping” to a title works fine for short product names and silently truncates for long ones, and nobody notices until dozens of listings in search results end mid-word.

Why bulk checking catches what single-page tools miss

A single-page preview tool answers one question well: does this one title fit. It cannot answer the question that actually matters at scale, which is whether the pattern your CMS or your templating logic produces holds up across every page that uses it. Paste an export of fifty product titles built from the same template and a systemic problem, such as a category name that pushes every title past the pixel budget, shows up as a cluster of highlighted rows rather than one edited field.

When to use the single-page tool instead

For a one-off check while editing a single page, the SERP snippet preview tool is faster: it shows the rendered snippet itself, not just a pass or fail width, which helps when you are still writing the copy rather than auditing what already shipped. Use that tool while drafting a page, and use this one after a crawl or export to confirm the whole site follows the pattern you intended.

Reading the results

A row marked truncated on mobile but not on desktop is not a bug in the tool, it reflects a real difference in how much width each layout allows. Fix the copy for the narrower of the two limits if the page needs to hold up everywhere, or accept the mobile truncation if the front-loaded part of the title still carries the meaning on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Why check many pages at once instead of one at a time?

A single-page preview only ever shows you one outcome. Most truncation problems are not one bad title, they are a template that produces the same too-long pattern on every product page or every blog post. Checking a batch is the only way to see that pattern rather than one symptom of it.

How is the pixel width calculated?

The exact same way as the single-page SERP preview tool, by drawing each string with the browser's canvas text API at the font sizes Google uses in results, then reading back the rendered width. That is closer to real truncation than any character-count rule.
