SERP Snippet Preview
See your title and meta description as a Google result, measured in real pixels for desktop and mobile.
How to use it
- Type your title, URL and meta description. The preview updates live.
- Switch between Desktop and Mobile - Google truncates at different widths on each.
- Watch the pixel measurements. Google cuts by pixel width, not character count, so a title of capital letters runs out of room sooner than one of narrow letters.
- Aim to keep both inside the limit so nothing important gets cut off.
What it does, and what it does not
It does: render a realistic Google snippet and measure your title and description in pixels using the same approach Google does, flagging when either would be truncated on desktop or mobile.
It does not: promise Google will show exactly this. Google often rewrites titles and descriptions based on the query. Treat the preview as your best-case control over what you supply, not a guarantee of what appears.
Reference
Your title tag and meta description are the two things you most directly control in a search result, and they do a lot of work: the title is the biggest on-page ranking signal you write, and the description is your ad copy for the click. Getting them the right length keeps Google from cutting them mid-thought.
The key thing most tools get wrong is measuring by characters. Google truncates by pixel width. A title in narrow letters fits far more characters than one in wide capitals, so a character count is only a rough proxy. This tool measures the actual rendered width, the way Google effectively does. As a guide, desktop titles are cut around 600 pixels (very roughly 50 to 60 characters) and descriptions around two lines; mobile shows narrower but taller, so a slightly longer description can survive on a phone. Put the important words and any brand or location near the front so they are safe even if the tail is trimmed.
One honest caveat worth internalising: Google rewrites titles for a large share of queries, and it frequently generates its own description from the page when it thinks that serves the searcher better. You cannot force your exact text to show. What you can do is give Google a clean, accurate, well-sized option that matches the page and the query intent, which makes it more likely yours is used and, when it is, more likely to earn the click. Write for the searcher, keep it inside the limits, avoid keyword stuffing, and make every result read like it answers the query.
Questions
Why measure pixels instead of characters?
Because Google truncates by pixel width. A title of wide capital letters is cut sooner than one of narrow letters with the same character count. Pixel measurement is far more accurate.
What are the limits?
Roughly 600 pixels for desktop titles and about two lines for descriptions. Mobile is narrower but taller. The tool shows the exact width and flags truncation for each device.
Why does Google show a different title than mine?
Google rewrites titles and descriptions for many queries when it thinks another version serves the searcher better. You cannot force your exact text, but a clean, well-sized, relevant option is more likely to be used.
Should I include my brand in the title?
Often yes, usually at the end. Put the important keywords first so they survive truncation, and add the brand where there is room.
Is anything uploaded?
