Meta tag generator for SEO titles and descriptions

This meta tag generator creates title, description, canonical and social sharing tags for a page. Enter your page details, preview search results and check the tags before copying them. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.

How it works

  1. Enter the page title, meta description and the full address of the page (the canonical URL). A social image address and site name are optional.
  2. The preview measures each line in pixels using a font close to the one search results use, then cuts it where a desktop or mobile result would typically cut it. The pixel limits are estimates, not a promise of how any search engine will show your page.
  3. The checks look for missing or overlong fields, a canonical URL that is relative, uses http, carries tracking parameters or a # fragment, and a social image that is not a full https address.
  4. The tags are built with every quote, ampersand and angle bracket escaped, so a title with "quotes" or <brackets> cannot break your page's HTML.
  5. Copy the tags or download them as a file, and paste them inside the <head> of the page.

The three tags that matter most

The title tag names the page in search results and browser tabs. The meta description is the short summary that often appears under it. The canonical link tells search engines which address to credit when the same page can be reached in more than one way.

Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) control the card that appears when someone shares the page on social networks and in messaging apps. X reads its own twitter: tags and falls back to Open Graph when they are missing.

How the pixel limits in this tool are set

Desktop titles are measured at about 20 pixels in Arial against a width of roughly 580 pixels. Descriptions are measured at about 14 pixels against roughly two lines of text on desktop and a little less on mobile. These are working estimates based on how results commonly display, not published limits.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Why measure titles in pixels instead of characters?

Search results cut titles by display width, not by a character count. A title full of wide letters like W and M runs out of room sooner than one with narrow letters like i and l. Measuring pixels gives a better estimate than the usual 60-character rule, though the exact cut-off still varies by device and search engine.

What is a broken canonical tag?

The canonical tag tells search engines which address is the main version of a page. It is broken when it is relative (just /page), points to http on an https site, includes tracking parameters or a # fragment, or points to a different page by mistake. Any of these can send ranking signals to the wrong address.

Why does escaping matter in meta tags?

Meta tag values sit inside quotes in your HTML. If a title contains a double quote or an angle bracket and is pasted in unescaped, it can end the tag early and break the page head, or even let unwanted code in. This generator escapes those characters for you.

Is the meta keywords tag still worth adding?

Major search engines have said for years that they do not use it for ranking, so this generator leaves it out. It does no harm, but it also reveals your target words to anyone reading the source.

Is this meta tag generator free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no signup, and all the work happens in your browser. The social image preview loads the image address you enter directly from its own server, like any image on a web page.

Will Google show exactly this preview?

Not always. Search engines may rewrite titles and descriptions, add dates or site names, and change result layouts. Treat the preview as a close estimate for checking length and wording.
