SEO Meta Tag Generator
Write your title tag, meta description, H1 and keywords, then see exactly how Google will truncate them, measured by real pixel width rather than a character count. Copy a complete meta tag block when you are done. Free, no signup, nothing leaves your browser.
How to use it
Three steps, about a minute
Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. The preview updates as you type, and the generated code is yours to paste straight into the page.
01
Enter your page details
Your URL, the H1 that will appear on the page, your title tag, meta description and any keywords you want in the tag.
02
Check the live preview
Google desktop and mobile, plus how the link will look shared on Facebook and X. Titles and descriptions are measured in pixels, not characters.
03
Copy the code
Paste the meta tags into the head of your page and put the H1 in the body. That is the whole job.
Worth knowing
Three things most meta tag generators get wrong
Pixel width, not character count
An i and a W do not take the same space. Two titles with identical character counts can truncate completely differently in search results. Measuring the rendered pixel width is the only way to know where yours will be cut.
Your H1 is not your title tag
The title tag sells the click in the search result. The H1 confirms the visitor landed on the right page. They do two different jobs, so they should usually be worded differently. This tool flags it when yours are identical.
The keywords tag, honestly
Google has ignored the keywords meta tag since 2009 and Bing treats stuffing it as a spam signal. It is generated here because some internal site search tools and smaller engines still read it, not because it will move your rankings.
FAQ
Questions about meta tags
What is a meta tag generator?
A meta tag generator builds the HTML meta tags that describe your page to search engines and social networks. You fill in your title, description and other details, and it outputs a block of code you paste into the head of your page.
Are meta keywords still used for SEO?
Google confirmed in 2009 that it ignores the keywords meta tag and it has not used it since. Bing treats a stuffed keywords tag as a spam signal. This tool still generates it because some internal search tools and smaller engines read it, but it will not help you rank on Google.
What is the ideal meta title length?
Google truncates the title at roughly 580 pixels on desktop, which usually works out to 55 to 60 characters. Because a W is far wider than an i, two titles with the same character count can truncate differently, which is why this tool measures pixels.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Around 155 to 160 characters, or about 920 pixels on desktop. Mobile gives you slightly more room, closer to 980 pixels. Anything beyond that is cut off with an ellipsis.
What is the difference between a title tag and an H1?
The title tag is what appears in search results and the browser tab. The H1 is the visible heading on the page itself. They are read by different people at different moments, so they should usually be worded differently rather than duplicated.
Do meta tags improve rankings?
Not directly, with the partial exception of the title tag. What they change is click-through rate, and a page that earns more clicks from the same position tends to hold or improve that position over time.
Do I need Open Graph and Twitter tags?
If anyone shares your page on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X, yes. Without them the platform guesses at a title, description and image, and it usually guesses badly. This tool generates both sets for you.
Is this meta tag generator free?
Yes. No signup and no limits. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.
