Type your title and description on the left — everything runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.
We estimate the rendered pixel width using Google's typical SERP font metrics, and compare it against Google's approximate truncation points (~580px for titles, ~990px for descriptions).
The preview box mirrors Google's actual result styling — blue title link, green URL, gray snippet — so you can see roughly how it'll look before you publish.

- Truncation depends on pixel width, not character count, so the preview is a guide rather than a guarantee.
- Google may rewrite titles and descriptions when they do not match the page or the query.
- Duplicate titles and descriptions across pages tell search engines nothing about each page.
- Put the words searchers use near the start of the title and keep the brand at the end.
- Do not stuff keywords. Write the description as a short summary a person would want to click.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pixel width instead of character count?
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count — a title full of narrow letters (like "iiiilll") fits more characters than one full of wide letters (like "WWMM") before it gets cut off. Character count is a rough proxy; pixel width is closer to what actually happens.
What's the ideal title length?
Roughly 50–60 characters is a safe target for most titles to display fully, though the real limit is about 580px, which varies by the actual letters used.
Does Google always use my meta description?
No — Google frequently rewrites the snippet using on-page content it thinks answers the query better. Writing a good description still matters; it just isn't guaranteed to be shown verbatim.
Is this exact to the pixel?
It's a close estimate based on Google's default SERP font, not a pixel-perfect renderer. Treat it as a guide for staying safely under the truncation point, not an exact guarantee.
