Google typically displays 150–160 characters for meta descriptions in search results. Some sources recommend 155 characters as a safe limit. Descriptions that are too long get truncated with an ellipsis in the SERP.
Twitter (now X) allows 280 characters per tweet for most users. URLs count as 23 characters regardless of their actual length. Images and media do not count toward the character limit.
Instead of cutting text mid-word at exactly the character limit, the tool backs up to the last complete word before the limit. This prevents partial words like "the cat sat on the ma" and instead gives "the cat sat on the".
