SERP Snippet Preview
See your title and description as a Google result, measured in pixels.
About this tool
Type the title, URL and description; a realistic Google result appears with the breadcrumb path, and bars show how close each is to the pixel limit and where the cut falls. Computed in your browser.
Why pixels, not characters
Google doesn't count characters; it fits text into a fixed-width box — about 580 pixels for a desktop title, 920 for a description — so a title of wide letters and capitals is cut sooner than one of narrow ones, and the “60 characters” rule is only an average. The preview measures your actual text in a font like Google's and truncates where Google would, which is the check that matters before publishing. A few honest realities: Google rewrites titles it thinks are poor matches (keyword lists, brand-only, missing context) and often builds the snippet from page text instead of your description, so what you write is a strong suggestion, not a guarantee; mobile shows slightly less; and the click-through gain from a specific, front-loaded title is real and free. Write the page's unique promise first, the brand last, and make the description a sentence someone would want to click. The meta tag generator writes the HTML, the social image generator the share card, and the schema generator the rich-result markup.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be?
Under about 580 pixels on desktop — roughly 50–60 characters of ordinary text. The bar turns red when the preview would truncate it.
Why does Google show a different title than mine?
It rewrites titles it judges unhelpful (too long, keyword-stuffed, same as every page, brand-only) using headings and link text. A specific, unique title is usually kept.
Does the description affect ranking?
Not directly. It affects whether people click, which is why it should read like a sentence rather than a keyword list. Google may replace it with page text when that matches the query better.
Is anything sent to Google?
No — the preview is drawn locally from your text; nothing is checked online.
