Google cuts titles by pixels, not characters: 60 narrow letters fit, 50 wide ones don’t. Measure every title the way Google does, in bulk.
The example below is already loaded, so you can see exactly what you get. Replace it with your own list and the result updates as you type.

Settings used: Check as: Page titles (≤ 580px)
Measures each line in pixels the way Google renders it (title: 20px Arial, about 580px shown; description: 14px Arial, about 920px) and tags it OK or TOO LONG. More accurate than counting characters.
Google cuts titles and descriptions by width in pixels, not by character count: a title full of Ws is cut long before one full of Is. This operation measures each line in the same font Google uses (Arial, 20px for titles and 14px for descriptions) and tags it with its width and whether it fits: about 580px for a title and 920px for a description on desktop.
The measurement runs in your browser with the real font, so it is much closer than a character count. Google occasionally changes its layout, so treat anything within a few pixels of the limit as borderline.
Yes. Check Title / Description Pixel Width runs entirely in your browser, on this page and in the full Notepad, with no sign-up, no limits, and nothing sent to a server.
Characters vary in width. Sixty narrow characters fit easily, while sixty wide capitals are cut. Pixels are what Google actually measures.
No. Google rewrites some titles regardless of length. Fitting the width just avoids the ellipsis.
