SERP Snippet Preview
Type a page’s title, address and description to see a generic search result at a desktop width and a phone width, with each one’s length in characters and in pixels.
0 characters
Only read as text, to build the address line. Nothing visits it.

An approximation, not what any search engine will show: each draws results in its own fonts and layout, and Google, for one, may change the title and mostly builds snippets from the page’s own text. Widths here are measured in Inter at 20 px for the title, 13 px for the address line and 14 px for the description.
Everything happens on this page, on your device: nothing you type is sent or saved, and the address is never visited.
See how a page might look in search results
Before you publish a page, it helps to see its title, address and description laid out the way a search result shows them: the title on one line, a short address line, and a few lines of description. Type them here to see a generic result at a desktop width and at a phone width, with each one’s length in characters and in pixels.
How to use it
- Type the page title, its full address and the description, or fill in the example.
- Look at both previews: a title or description that runs out of room ends with “…”.
- Read the notes under the previews and the counts under each box.
- Rewrite until the words that matter most are in view, then use them on your page.
What the previews show
- Title: one line, cut off with “…” when it runs out of room.
- Address line: the domain, then each folder of the address, joined by ›. Anything after a ? or a # isn’t shown.
- Description: cut off after 2 lines on the desktop preview and 3 on the phone preview.
- Widths: the text is 600 px wide on the desktop preview and 360 px on the phone preview, or less on a screen too narrow for that. Side by side, both are drawn at 70% so they fit.
- Pixels: measured with your browser’s canvas in Inter, the font this page uses, at the sizes given under the previews.
Good to know
- There’s no fixed limit. Google’s own guides say titles and descriptions can be any length: both are shortened as needed, typically to fit the device’s width. The counts are measurements, not targets.
- Search engines decide what to show. Google may change a title that doesn’t reflect the page, and mostly builds snippets from the page’s own text, using the description when it describes the page better.
- Check both widths. A title that fits at a desktop width can still be cut off on a phone, so the words that matter most belong at the start.
- It’s an approximation. Real results use other fonts, sizes and layouts, and change them, so they can be cut sooner or later than these previews.
- Need the tags themselves? The Meta Tag Generator writes them, and Open Graph Preview shows how a shared link could look. This page only previews a search result.
