SERP Snippet Preview
This is an approximation. Google may rewrite titles and descriptions, and cuts them by pixel width rather than character count.
What does SERP Snippet Preview do?
SERP Snippet Preview shows how a page might look in Google search results. Type a title, URL and meta description and see a live desktop or mobile preview. The tool measures the text in pixels, as search engines do, and shows where long titles and descriptions are likely to be cut off.
How to use SERP Snippet Preview
- Type or paste your page title.
- Add the page URL and the meta description.
- Switch between Desktop and Mobile to compare.
- Shorten the text until the counters no longer say "will be cut".
When is it useful?
- Writing titles and descriptions that are not cut off in search results.
- Comparing several title ideas before publishing.
- Checking existing pages during an SEO review.
Example
The title "The Complete Beginner's Guide to Merging, Splitting and Compressing PDF Files Online" is about 760 px wide on desktop, so the preview cuts it after roughly 580 px with "…".
Good to know
- The preview is an approximation. Google can rewrite titles and descriptions and changes its layout over time.
- Pixel limits are typical values used by SEO tools, not official numbers.
- Nothing you type leaves your browser.
