A free toolkit to research keywords, optimise pages and track your visibility across Google and AI search engines. No signup required.
Google rewrites titles/descriptions ~30% of the time. Stay under the pixel limits to avoid truncation, and lead with the keyword.
The SERP snippet preview shows exactly how your page will look in Google search results before you publish. Type your title, URL and meta description and you see a pixel-accurate preview, plus a live check of whether each element fits inside Google's width limits so nothing gets cut off with an ellipsis.

- 2Watch the Google preview update live as you type, on desktop or mobile.
- 3Keep the title and description inside the green pixel limits so they do not truncate.
- 4Refine the copy until the snippet reads well and front-loads your keyword.
Why pixel width matters more than character count
Google truncates titles and descriptions by pixel width, not by character count, because wide letters take more space than narrow ones. A 60-character title full of wide letters can be cut off while a 65-character title of narrow letters fits. This tool measures the actual rendered width with the same fonts Google uses, so you optimise for what really gets shown.
How to write a title that earns the click
Lead with your primary keyword so it is visible even if the title is shortened, keep it under about 580 pixels, and make a clear promise that matches search intent. Avoid stuffing keywords or repeating your brand on every page. The title is the single biggest on-page factor for click-through rate from search.
What a strong meta description does
Google rewrites descriptions often, but a clear, benefit-led description still earns more clicks when it is shown. Aim for roughly 70 to 160 characters, include the keyword naturally, and write it like ad copy that answers the searcher's question. A good description previewed here also makes a cleaner snippet for AI answer engines that lift it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SERP snippet preview free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no signup. Type your title, URL and description and the Google preview updates instantly.
What is the ideal title length for Google?
Aim for roughly 50 to 60 characters and stay under about 580 pixels so the title is not truncated. This tool shows the live pixel width so you do not have to guess.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Around 70 to 160 characters works well. Shorter can look thin, longer gets cut off. Front-load the most important information in case Google shortens it.
Does Google always use my title and description?
No. Google rewrites titles and descriptions for a large share of queries based on the search. A well-written, intent-matched snippet is still more likely to be kept and to earn clicks when it is shown.
Does the preview support mobile and desktop?
Yes. You can toggle between desktop and mobile previews because Google shows different widths and layouts on each.
