Google SERP Preview
See your Google result before you publish — accurate to the pixel.
- ✓ Title width
- ✓ Description width
Desktop
Mobile
On Google’s results page you get a handful of words to earn the click — and Google truncates oversized titles and descriptions without mercy. The trap: the limit isn’t a character count but a pixel width, and a “W” takes three times the space of an “i”. This tool renders your title, description and URL exactly as a Google result, in both desktop and mobile versions. The actual pixel width is measured live as you type: you instantly see whether your text fits or will be chopped off with an ellipsis. Try several phrasings, compare them side by side in the preview, and publish knowing exactly what searchers will see. Free, no sign-up.
How does it work?
- Enter your page’s title, description and URL.
- Watch the preview update live, styled like a real Google result.
- Keep an eye on the pixel counters: green means it fits, warning means truncation.
- Switch between desktop and mobile views, then fine-tune your wording.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a title and description be?
Roughly 580 pixels for the title — about 50–60 characters depending on the letters — and about 990 pixels for the description, around 140–160 characters. Pixel width is what actually matters, which is why this tool measures it instead of counting characters.
Why does Google show a different title than mine?
Google rewrites titles in roughly a third of cases: too long, too generic, keyword-stuffed or mismatched with the query. A concise, descriptive title that reflects the page content has the best odds of being kept as-is.
Does the meta description affect rankings?
Not directly — it isn’t a ranking factor. But it heavily influences click-through rate, and at equal position a more clicked result brings more visitors. It’s your sales pitch in a sentence and a half: make it count.
Is the preview identical to the real Google result?
It replicates the fonts, sizes and widths of current Google results. Google does vary its display by query and ongoing experiments, so treat the preview as a faithful simulation rather than a contractual guarantee.
