What Meta Tag Generator does
Generates the meta tags a page needs — title, description, canonical and Open Graph — and counts the characters against the limits that matter.
The counters are the useful part. Titles are truncated around 60 characters and descriptions around 155, and a sentence cut off mid-word costs clicks from a page that already ranked.
The limits that matter
| Title | Around 60 characters before truncation |
|---|---|
| Description | Around 155 characters |
| Truncation basis | Pixel width, so wide letters truncate sooner |
| Canonical | The single preferred URL for the page |
| Open Graph image | 1200×630 is the standard |
| Description and ranking | Not a ranking factor — it affects click-through |
| Rewriting | Google may substitute its own if yours does not fit the query |
Detailed steps
- Enter the title, keeping the distinctive words first — the end is what gets cut.
- Write a description that gives someone a reason to click, not a keyword list.
- Add the canonical URL and an Open Graph image.
- Copy the generated tags into your page’s
<head>.
Worth knowing
Front-load both fields. Truncation is measured in pixels rather than characters, so a title full of wide letters gets cut earlier than the count suggests. Putting the specific, distinctive words first means the part that survives is the part that earns the click.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the meta description affect ranking?
No, and it has not for many years. It affects click-through rate, which is a different and still valuable thing — a page that ranks fifth with a compelling description can beat one ranking third without.
Why does Google show different text from mine?
It rewrites descriptions when it thinks a passage from the page answers the query better. A well-written description is used most of the time; it is a strong suggestion rather than a guarantee.
What happens if my title is too long?
It is truncated with an ellipsis, usually mid-phrase. The limit is pixel width rather than a character count, so the practical cutoff varies with the letters used — treat 60 as guidance and check with a preview.
Do I need Open Graph tags separately?
Yes, if you want control over how links look when shared. Without them platforms guess at the title, description and image, and the guess is often the first image on the page.
Is Meta Tag Generator free?
Yes. The Vootkit free plan includes 5 tool runs a day. Upgrade to Vootkit Pro for unlimited daily use, an ad-free workspace and saved workflows.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Meta Tag Generator runs entirely in your browser — your file is processed on your own device and never sent to a server. There is nothing for us to store or delete.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Meta Tag Generator works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. Open the page and start.
How often can I use it? Is there a daily limit?
On the free plan you get 5 tool runs a day. When you reach the limit you'll see a prompt to upgrade, and it resets the next day. Vootkit Pro removes the cap entirely for unlimited daily use.
