Recommended meta tag lengths
Search engines and social networks cut off text that runs too long, so these lengths keep your full message visible.
| Tag | Recommended length | What happens if it is longer |
|---|---|---|
| Title tag | 50 to 60 characters | Google cuts it off with an ellipsis |
| Meta description | 150 to 160 characters | Google cuts it off before your call to action |
| Open Graph title | 40 to 60 characters | Facebook shortens it in the link preview |
| Open Graph description | 150 to 200 characters | Facebook shortens it in the link preview |
| Twitter title | Up to 70 characters | X shortens it in the card |
| Twitter description | Up to 200 characters | X shortens it in the card |
How meta tags work
This free meta tag generator builds SEO, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for any page. It is made for website owners, bloggers and marketers who want clean meta code without editing HTML by hand. There is no sign-up, and the tool runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded or stored anywhere.
What is a meta tag?
A meta tag is a piece of code in the head section of a web page that describes the page to search engines and social networks. Visitors never see meta tags, but Google reads the title and description to build search results, and Facebook and X read Open Graph tags to build link previews when someone shares the page.
How long should a meta title be?
Aim for 50 to 60 characters, including spaces. Google shows about 60 characters of a title in search results, and anything longer is cut off with an ellipsis, which can hide your most important words. Put your main keyword and your brand near the start, keep the title honest about the page, and check the counter above as you type.
The title tag is not the same as the heading on the page. The title tag is what appears in the browser tab and in search results, while the H1 heading is what visitors see at the top of the page itself. Both should describe the page, but they do not have to match word for word.
How long should a meta description be?
Aim for 150 to 160 characters, including spaces. Google shows about 155 to 160 characters of a description in search results, so a longer description gets cut off before the reader sees your call to action. Write one or two plain sentences that summarise the page, include your main keyword naturally, and end with a reason to click.
A meta description does not directly raise your ranking, but a clear and honest description earns more clicks, and more clicks send Google a useful signal that the page satisfies the search. Treat the description as a short advert for the page, not a list of keywords.
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph tags are meta tags that control how a page looks when it is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and social networks. The og:title tag sets the headline, og:description sets the summary, and og:image sets the picture shown in the preview. Without them, each network guesses what to show, and the preview looks broken or picks the wrong image.
Open Graph was introduced by Facebook in 2010, and it is now used by almost every major social network. The og:image tag matters most: use an image at least 1200 by 630 pixels so the preview looks sharp on desktop and mobile.
What is a Twitter Card?
A Twitter Card controls how a page appears when it is shared on X. The twitter:card tag picks the layout, usually summary or summary_large_image, while twitter:title, twitter:description and twitter:image set the text and picture. X falls back to Open Graph tags when a Twitter tag is missing, so filling in both sets gives the most reliable preview.
Do meta keywords still help SEO?
No. Google confirmed in 2009 that it does not use the meta keywords tag in its ranking, and other search engines followed the same approach after years of keyword stuffing abuse. You can still fill the field in for completeness, but your time is better spent on a strong title, an honest description, and useful page content that earns links.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to add meta tags to every page?
Yes, every page should have its own title and description. Pages without them let Google invent a title and snippet from the page text, which usually looks worse and earns fewer clicks.
Can I use the same meta title on every page?
No. Duplicate titles confuse search engines and visitors, and Google may rewrite them. Give each page a unique title that describes what that page is about.
Where do I paste the meta tags?
Paste them inside the head section of your page, before the closing head tag. In WordPress, an SEO plugin such as Yoast SEO gives you fields for the title and description instead of editing code directly.
Why does Google show a different title than mine?
Google sometimes rewrites titles it thinks are too long, stuffed with keywords, or a poor match for the search. A short, honest title that matches the page content is rewritten far less often.
What size should my Open Graph image be?
Use 1200 by 630 pixels for Facebook and LinkedIn, and at least 1200 by 675 pixels for a large Twitter Card. Keep the file under 5 MB and put the important text away from the edges.
Do meta tags affect my ranking directly?
The title tag is a ranking factor, because Google uses it to understand the page topic. The description is not a direct ranking factor, but a good one earns more clicks, which helps the page over time.
Is this meta tag generator free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so your page details never leave your computer.
