How it works
Type your page title, meta description, and URL into the form — the preview updates live as you type, no submit needed.
Toggle between desktop and mobile to see how the snippet renders at each layout’s pixel limits.
Watch the character and pixel counters under each field; an ellipsis in the preview shows exactly where Google would cut your text.
Adjust your copy until nothing important gets truncated, then use the checks below the preview to catch remaining issues.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool fetch my page or send my text anywhere?
No. The preview runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. That’s also why it updates instantly.
Why does the tool measure pixels instead of characters?
Google truncates snippets by pixel width, not character count — a title full of wide letters like W and M truncates sooner than one full of narrow letters. The tool estimates the rendered width of your text in Arial, the font Google uses, so its cutoff point is close to the real one.
Are the pixel limits exact?
They are close approximations. Google does not publish its limits and adjusts them during layout tests, so the tool uses commonly cited values (about 600px for desktop titles and 920px for descriptions). Treat a snippet near the limit as at risk rather than definitely safe.
Will Google always show the description I write?
No — Google rewrites descriptions for a majority of pages when it thinks another passage matches the search better. A well-written description that matches your page’s content is still worth it, because it is used more often and sets the message you want.
Why do I see my previous text when I come back to this page?
The tool saves your inputs in your browser’s local storage for up to 7 days so you can pick up where you left off. Nothing is stored on our servers — click “Start fresh” to clear it.
