About the SERP Snippet Preview

Google truncates titles and descriptions by display width, not character count. A title full of wide letters (W, M) gets cut sooner than one with narrow letters (i, l). This tool measures text in Google’s fonts to show where truncation is likely.

Roughly 600 px fits in a desktop title and about 920 px in a two-line description. Treat these as guides: Google rewrites many titles and descriptions based on the search query.

How to use it

  1. Enter your title tag.
  2. Enter your meta description.
  3. Enter the page URL to see the breadcrumb.
  4. Watch the bars — green is safe, amber is close, red will probably be cut.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a title tag be?

Aim for under about 600 pixels, which is usually 50–60 characters. Put the most important words first in case it gets shortened.

How long should a meta description be?

About 150–160 characters on desktop. Write it as a short pitch for the page — it influences clicks, not rankings directly.

Why does Google show a different title?

Google may rewrite titles it considers too long, stuffed with keywords or not matching the page. Clear, accurate titles get rewritten less often.
