Google truncates search result titles and descriptions based on pixel width, not a strict character count, so the exact cutoff varies slightly depending on which characters you use (a title full of narrow letters like 'i' and 'l' fits more characters than one full of wide letters like 'w' and 'm'). This tool uses the commonly cited approximations of about 60 characters for titles and 155 characters for descriptions, the same simplified approach used by most SERP preview tools.
This shows you a close approximation of typical desktop search result styling. Google sometimes rewrites titles or descriptions automatically if it judges your provided version to be a poor match for the search query, or generates a different snippet from your on-page content entirely, so treat this as a strong guide for what you're providing Google to work with, not a pixel-perfect guarantee of the final result.
Say you enter a 68-character title and a 175-character meta description. Against the tool's ~60-character title guideline and ~155-character description guideline, both are flagged as likely to be truncated, the preview shows the title cut off with an ellipsis partway through, similar to how Google typically displays an overly long title, giving you a chance to tighten the wording before it goes live rather than discovering the truncation after publishing.
Treating the ~60/~155 character guidelines as a hard, guaranteed cutoff, Google actually truncates by pixel width, so a title full of narrow letters can run longer than 60 characters and still fit, use this as a useful approximation, not an exact rule.
Assuming the preview here is exactly what will appear in Google forever, Google can rewrite your title or generate a different snippet from on-page content if it judges your version a poor match for a given search query, this tool shows what you're providing, not a locked-in guarantee.
Writing a generic, keyword-stuffed description purely to fit the character limit, a compelling and accurate description that earns clicks matters more than merely satisfying the guideline, don't sacrifice readability chasing an exact character count.
Google may rewrite your title tag in search results if it determines a different phrasing better matches the user's search query or is more descriptive, this is a known, fairly common behavior and not a sign that anything is broken on your page.
Not directly, but a compelling, accurate title and description can improve your click-through rate, which is a reasonable goal in its own right even though it isn't a direct ranking factor.
