About the Headline Generator
Headline Generator gives you ten headline ideas for a blog post, article, newsletter or video. Type your topic in a sentence, choose a style (mixed, how-to, list or question) and press Generate headlines. Each headline is short, and the tool shows its length, so you can see which ones stay under about 60 characters, the point where Google often cuts a title in search results. Copy one headline or all ten in a tap. The text is sent to our AI service to write the answer and is not stored, and the tool is free for up to 30 answers a day. Headlines are ideas to adapt: pick one, check it matches what your article really says and change the wording to fit your voice.

What makes a headline work
- It is specific: 7 ways to cut a grocery bill beats Save money.
- It sets an honest expectation, so readers are not disappointed.
- It puts the main keyword near the front.
- It fits: under about 60 characters for search, and shorter for email.
- It sounds like a person wrote it, not like a trick to get clicks.
Choosing a style
How-to headlines suit tutorials and guides, and they match the way many people search. List headlines suit round-ups, tips and comparisons and are easy to skim. Question headlines work for explainers and for pages that answer a specific query, since they echo the searcher's own words.
If you are unsure, use Mixed for a first batch, then rerun with the style that fits best. Try again gives a new set each time, so run it a few times and combine the pieces you like.
From idea to published title
Pick two or three candidates and read each one aloud. Ask if it is clear, if it says something the article proves and if it would make you click. Then trim to the length that suits where it will appear. Use Case Converter to switch between sentence case and title case, and Character Counter to check the final length.
If you plan to publish on your own site, Slug Generator turns the title into a clean web address, and Meta Description Generator writes the snippet that goes with it.
Limits of AI headlines
The AI does not know your article, only the topic you type, so it cannot check that a headline is accurate. It can also produce dramatic wording. Choose plain and true over clever, and remove anything that promises more than you deliver.
Your topic is sent to our AI service to write the ideas and is not stored, and there is a limit of 30 answers per visitor per day, which keeps the tool free.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a good headline?
Say clearly what the reader will get, use the words they would search for, and keep it short enough to read at a glance. Numbers, a how-to or a direct question all work because they set an expectation. Most important, the article has to deliver what the headline promises.
How long should a headline be?
For search results, keep the title to about 60 characters so that it is not cut off. For social media and email subject lines, shorter is usually better, often under 50 characters. The tool shows the length of each headline.
Can I use these headlines for SEO titles?
Yes, as a starting point. Choose one that includes the phrase people search for, near the start, and that fits within 60 characters. After that, write a matching description with Meta Description Generator.
What is the difference between the styles?
How-to headlines start with the words how to and promise a method. List headlines carry a number, such as 7 ways to save on food, which sets a clear expectation. Question headlines echo what your reader is asking. Mixed gives you a variety, which is best when you do not know yet.
Are the headlines original?
They are written fresh for your topic, but common phrases can appear in many titles. Search for your favourite to see if another article already uses the exact same words, and tweak it if so.
Is my text stored?
No. Your topic is sent to our AI service to write the headlines and is not stored. The tool is free for up to 30 answers a day per visitor.
