SERP preview
Type your title and meta description and see at once how they will look on a Google results page. Truncation is calculated in pixels, not characters.
In shortThe tool measures the pixel width of the title and meta description you type and shows where Google's desktop or mobile result would cut them. It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you type is sent to a server, and no name or email is asked for. It does not fetch your real page and cannot know whether Google will rewrite your title.

What does the tool measure?
Title width
The title is measured in 20-pixel Arial. The desktop limit is 600 pixels.
Meta description width
The description is measured in 14-pixel Arial. The desktop limit is 920 pixels.
Mobile view
On the mobile tab the title can run over two lines, so its limit rises to 1040 pixels, while the description limit drops to 680 pixels.
Status bars
Next to each field you see the measured width and the limit. There are three states: good, will be cut and short. Text below 45% of the limit counts as short.
Cut-off point
Text past the limit is not split in the middle of a word. It is cut at the last whole word that fits, followed by an ellipsis.
Address line
The site name, the initial-letter icon and the path segments are built from the address you type. You see how your URL structure will read in the result.
How is truncation calculated?
Google cuts titles at a certain width, not at a certain number of characters. Letters do not take up equal space: a W is several times wider than an i. So of two titles with the same character count, one can fit while the other gets cut.
The tool measures the text on your browser's drawing surface (canvas) in the Arial font and compares the width with the limit: 600 and 920 pixels on desktop, 1040 and 680 pixels on mobile.
The status bars always use the desktop limits, whichever tab is open. The mobile tab only changes the cut-off point in the preview. The tool gives no score, the result is a preview and two width measurements.
How should I read the result?
- Look at the title bar first. If it says will be cut, move the most important word to the front or shorten the brand name at the end.
- The short label is not an error. It tells you that you are using less than half of the space and still have room to say more.
- A description that fits on desktop can be cut on mobile, because the mobile limit is narrower. Check both tabs and put the main message in the first sentence.
What the tool doesn't do
- It does not fetch your page, you type the title and description yourself. Google may rewrite them depending on the query, and the tool only shows whether the text you wrote fits.
- The measurement relies on the Arial font on your device, and Google's layout changes over time. Treat the limits as approximate, not exact.
- It works on one page at a time. To see the title and description status of every page on a site together, the tool points to WorkExe.
Frequently asked questions.
Are the title and description I type saved anywhere?
No. The SERP preview runs entirely in your browser, and what you type is not sent to a server. That is why it asks for no name, email or consent and has no daily usage limit.
How many characters should my title be?
There is no exact character count, because the limit is set by width. The 600 pixels on desktop usually works out to 50-60 characters. Rather than counting characters, check that the bar says good.
Will Google show my description exactly as I wrote it?
Not always. Google may pick a different passage from the page content if it finds it a better match for the query. A well-written meta description makes it more likely to be shown, but it does not make it certain.
Why are the mobile and desktop limits different?
On mobile the title can run over two lines, so a longer title fits. The description area gets narrower. The Desktop and Mobile buttons in the tool switch the preview between these two cases.
