Preview is an approximation. Google may rewrite titles and descriptions, show dates, sitelinks or rich results depending on the query.
What is a SERP snippet — and how to use this tool
A SERP snippet is the little block Google shows for your page on the search results page: the clickable title, the URL line, and the grey meta description underneath. It’s often the first (and only) impression a searcher gets of your page, so getting it right directly affects your click-through rate.
Google truncates snippets by pixel width, not by a fixed character count. On desktop, titles are cut at roughly 580 px and descriptions at about 920 px, replacing the overflow with an ellipsis (…). Because wide characters like “W” and “m” take up more room than “i” or “l”, two titles with the same character count can truncate very differently — which is why this tool measures the actual rendered width in your browser rather than just counting characters. As a rough mobile guide, keep titles under ~78 characters and descriptions under ~155 characters.
- Type or paste your title, URL and meta description into the editor.
- Watch the character and pixel counters — green means safe, amber is close, red means it will be cut.
- Switch between the Desktop and Mobile tabs to see how each device renders it.
- Front-load your most important keywords and value proposition so they survive truncation.
