Google SERP Snippet Preview
See exactly how your title and meta description will appear in Google search results — and get warned the moment they'll be cut off. Truncation is measured by pixel width, the way Google actually does it, on both desktop and mobile.
Your meta description will appear here. Type on the left to see how it looks in Google, and watch for the truncation warnings.
How It Works
Google doesn't count characters when it decides where to cut off your title — it measures how wide the text is when rendered. This tool draws your text on a hidden canvas using a font close to Google's, measures its pixel width, and cuts it at the last whole word that fits, exactly like a real search result. Switch between desktop and mobile to see how the limits change.
Fair Questions
How does Google decide where to cut off my title?
Google truncates by the rendered pixel width of the text, not by character count. A title full of wide letters like W and M gets cut sooner than one full of narrow letters like i and l. This tool measures the real pixel width, so the preview matches Google closely.
What are the ideal title and description lengths?
As a rule of thumb, keep titles under about 600 pixels (roughly 50–60 characters) and descriptions under about 920 pixels (roughly 150–160 characters) on desktop. Mobile cuts off sooner. The colored indicators here flag when you're getting close.
Why do desktop and mobile look different?
Google uses different fonts, sizes, and layouts on phones versus desktops, so text truncates at a different point on each. Flip the toggle to check both — the truncation point moves with it.
Does this fetch my live page?
No. You type in the title, description, and URL you want to test, and the preview updates instantly in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or fetched.
Will Google always show exactly what I write?
Not always — Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions based on the search query. But writing a clear, well-sized title and description gives you the best chance of it showing what you intended.
