Google SERP Title & Snippet Previewer

About this tool

How to use it

1. Enter your page title, the page's URL, and the meta description you're planning to publish.
2. Press Preview Snippet, or just keep typing — the preview and pixel readouts update live.
3. Check the pixel width shown under the title and description against the two approximate limits.
4. If the status says 'will be truncated', shorten the text and re-check until it says 'fits without truncation', or accept the truncation if the front-loaded part still reads well.

Why it matters

Google doesn't cut titles and descriptions off at a fixed character count — it renders them at a fixed pixel width, so two titles with the same character count can wrap or truncate completely differently depending on which letters they contain ('iiiii' takes far less space than 'wwwww'). Measuring the actual rendered width, the way this tool does, catches truncation that a simple character counter would miss or wrongly flag.

When to use it

Useful right before publishing or updating a page's title tag and meta description, when a client or editor asks 'will this fit', or when auditing an existing page whose search snippet looks cut off and you want to know by how much.

Good to know

Widths are measured with the same Canvas text-rendering API browsers use internally, at approximate SERP font sizes (not a fixed per-character table), so the number reflects the actual rendered width of your specific text. The ~600px title and ~920px description thresholds are long-observed community approximations, not a number Google has ever officially published — Google's search result design, font, and column width have changed multiple times over the years and can change again without notice, and Google may also rewrite a title or description in results regardless of what's in your HTML if it judges something else better matches the query.
