SERP Snippet Preview: Title & Meta Description Checker
Preview how your page title and meta description may look in Google search results. Pixel-width meters show when your title or description is likely to be cut off, so you can write snippets that display in full and earn more clicks.
SERP Snippet Preview
See how your title and meta description may appear in Google search results.
Desktop search result preview
Widths are measured in your browser in 20px Arial (titles) and 14px Arial (descriptions), the standard used for Google snippet estimates. Truncation points are approximate: on desktop Google typically cuts titles at about 600px and descriptions at about 920px, and it may rewrite titles and snippets.

How It Works
How to Preview Your Google Snippet
Write and test your title tag and meta description in four quick steps.
Enter Your Title Tag
Type or paste your page title. The preview and the pixel meter update as you type.
Add Your Meta Description
Add the description you want Google to show under your title.
Add the Page URL
Enter the page address to preview the site name and breadcrumb line shown above the title.
Adjust Until It Fits
Green means the text is likely to show in full. Red means it is likely to be cut off with an ellipsis.
Why Pixels Matter
Write Snippets That Get Clicks Noticed
Google limits titles and descriptions by display width, not by character count. A title full of wide letters such as W and M is cut off sooner than one with narrow letters such as i and l. This tool measures your text in pixels, the same way snippet length is estimated by SEO professionals.
1/ Pixel-Accurate Meters
Text is measured in your browser using Arial at the sizes Google uses on desktop: 20px for titles and 14px for descriptions.
2/ Live Google-Style Preview
See your title, description, site name and URL breadcrumb in a desktop search result layout as you type.
3/ Honest Estimates
Truncation limits are approximate and Google can rewrite titles and descriptions, so treat the preview as a guide rather than a guarantee.

FAQs
SERP Snippet Preview FAQs
Common questions about title tags, meta descriptions and how Google displays them.
There is no official limit, but on desktop Google typically shows about 600 pixels of a title, which is usually around 50 to 60 characters. Longer titles are cut off with an ellipsis (...).
Google shows roughly 920 pixels of description text on desktop, usually about 150 to 160 characters. Aim for a clear summary of the page in that space.
Google limits snippets by display width. Wide letters such as W and M take more space than narrow ones such as i and l, so two titles with the same number of characters can be cut off at different points.
No. Google may rewrite titles and often generates descriptions from page content when it thinks that better matches the search. A well-written, accurate title and description make this less likely.
The preview shows a desktop result. Mobile results wrap titles onto more lines and Google does not publish exact mobile limits, so we only show the layout we can estimate reliably.
No. The preview runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is sent to our servers.
