Meta Tag Generator

This tool turns your draft title and description into properly sized meta tags. The first line you enter becomes the meta title; the rest becomes the meta description. Each is truncated to a sensible length so it displays well in search results.

The title is capped at 60 characters and the description at 160 — the rough limits at which search engines cut text off. The output shows the character count for each, so you can see at a glance whether your draft fits or needs trimming.

This is a formatting and sizing helper, not a copywriter: the quality of your tags still depends on the words you put in. What it guarantees is that your tags are the right length and formatted for copying.

The tool reads your input line by line: the first line is treated as the title, and the remaining lines are joined as the description. It then applies the standard length limits — truncating the title to 60 characters and the description to 160 (with an ellipsis where text is cut).

Both values are displayed with their character counts and formatted as ready-to-copy meta tags. The whole process is local string handling — no request is made to any server.

Search engines display roughly 50–60 characters of a title and 150–160 characters of a description before truncating with an ellipsis. These are display limits, not hard rules — but keeping tags within them ensures your message isn't cut mid-sentence.

Titles should be unique per page and lead with what the page is about; a generic title like “Home” competes poorly and signals thin content. Descriptions are your ad copy: they don't directly affect ranking, but they strongly affect whether someone clicks. Write for the searcher's intent, mention the value of the page, and avoid duplicating descriptions across pages.

Canonical URLs and Open Graph tags work alongside meta tags — the OG tags control social sharing previews and should match the page's title and description. This tool focuses on the title and description pair; pair it with the schema and sitemap generators for the rest of the technical SEO stack.
