SERP snippet preview
Your title tag and meta description are the ad you never paid for — they are what a searcher reads before deciding whether to click your result or a competitor’s. Get them wrong and even a page that ranks well leaks clicks. The tricky part is that Google truncates snippets by pixel width, not character count, so two titles of the same length can behave completely differently depending on which letters they use.
This preview tool renders your title, URL and meta description exactly as they would appear in a Google desktop and mobile result, and measures the real pixel width of each as you type — warning you the moment you cross the truncation thresholds. You can type your snippet by hand, or fetch a live URL to pull in the tags a page already uses and iterate from there. Use it to write titles that stay whole, front-load your primary keyword and benefit, and turn a decent ranking into a higher click-through rate. When you want to know whether those tags are technically correct across your whole page, run the full audit.

FAQ
Aim for roughly 50–60 characters, but pixel width matters more than character count. Google truncates desktop titles at about 600 pixels, so a title full of wide letters can be cut sooner than a longer one made of narrow characters. This tool measures actual rendered pixels for you.
Around 120–160 characters. Google truncates desktop descriptions near 920–960 pixels and shows less on mobile. Write for the click, not the character limit — a clear, benefit-led sentence beats a keyword-stuffed one that gets cut mid-thought.
Google frequently rewrites titles and descriptions to better match the query. Your tags are a strong signal, not a guarantee. Writing a tight, relevant title and description makes a rewrite less likely and gives Google good raw material when it does adjust.
Yes. Enter a URL and the tool fetches the page server-side (rate-limited, private hosts blocked) and fills in the current title, meta description and canonical so you can preview and improve what is already live.
