Book Title Character Counter
Check your title and subtitle length before it gets cut off in Amazon search results.
KDP technically allows up to 200 characters for title and subtitle combined, but titles under ~75 characters are far less likely to be truncated in search results, category pages, and thumbnails.
Why does title length matter on Amazon?
Amazon truncates long titles in search results, category pages, and thumbnails on smaller screens. A title that reads perfectly in your KDP dashboard can still get cut off mid-word for a shopper browsing on their phone — which is where most Amazon browsing happens.
Title length is one piece of the picture — check how your title reads alongside your actual cover design with a Cover Score.
Frequently asked questions
What's Amazon's title character limit?
KDP technically allows up to 200 characters for title and subtitle combined, but titles under about 75 characters are far less likely to be truncated in search results, category pages, and thumbnails.
Does the limit include my subtitle?
Yes — this tool checks your title and subtitle combined, since Amazon displays and limits them together in most places.
Is this tool free?
Yes, no account needed.
Why is my title "safe" but still looks cut off somewhere?
Truncation varies by placement — a title under the safe limit is unlikely to be cut off, but exact behavior can still differ between search results, thumbnails, and category pages.
