SERP Snippet Preview Tool
Type your title, URL and meta description to see a live Google-style search result. The preview warns you the moment your title or description runs long enough to get cut off in the results.
How to preview your search snippet
- Enter your page title, URL and meta description.
- Watch the Google-style preview update as you type.
- Adjust until the title and description fit within the recommended lengths.
Examples
A snippet that fits
Title: Best Running Shoes for Beginners (2026 Guide)
Title shows in full; a 150-character description sits comfortably in the recommended range.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ideal title and meta description length?
Aim for a title of about 60 characters or fewer and a meta description of roughly 120 to 160 characters. Those ranges usually display in full on desktop search results.
Why does Google truncate my title or description?
Google fits each result into a fixed-width box. When your text is longer than the available space, it cuts the line and adds an ellipsis so the layout stays consistent.
Does Google count pixels or characters?
Google actually measures pixel width, not character count, so wide letters like W and M take more room than thin ones like i and l. This tool uses character limits as a close, conservative guide.
Does title or description length change my rankings?
Length itself is not a direct ranking factor. A clear, well-sized snippet improves click-through rate, and Google may rewrite text that does not fit, so a tidy snippet keeps your message intact.
Will Google always use the description I write?
Not always. Google sometimes generates its own snippet from page content when it better matches the query, but a strong meta description is still your best chance to control the message.
Is my data private?
Yes. The preview runs entirely in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
