Free serp snippet preview that runs in your browser. No sign-up, no install.
SERP Snippet Preview
Measures your title with a canvas using Arial 20px (title) and 14px (description), then truncates like a typical Google result. An approximation: Google changes layouts and fonts and may rewrite snippets.
Desktop titles are cut around 600px. The exact limit varies by query and device.

What this tool does and who it is for
This tool shows roughly how a title, description and URL could look in a Google result. It measures your title in pixels with a canvas using Arial at 20px, and the description at 14px, then truncates with an ellipsis at a typical desktop or mobile width.
It is an approximation. Google changes fonts, widths and snippet length, and often rewrites the snippet from page text. Use the pixel bar to avoid obviously long titles, not as a guarantee.
Official Formula / Technical Standard
Real-World Worked Scenario
Enter your target URL and parameters to produce standard-compliant markup and tracking directives.
When people use it
Trimming a long title
Watch the pixel count and see where the title would be cut, then move the important words to the front.
Comparing desktop and mobile
Switch views to see that mobile allows more lines but a narrower width.
Drafting a description
Check that the first sentence still makes sense if the end is truncated.
Notes for US users
- Americans mostly search on mobile, so check the mobile view before desktop.
- Use plain punctuation. Special characters can render at different widths than the canvas measures.
Limits and what to double-check
- •Pixel widths depend on the font actually available in your browser, so numbers can differ by a few percent.
- •Star ratings, prices and FAQ dropdowns are not mocked. Google only shows those when it chooses to for valid markup.
- •The optional date prefix is illustrative. Google decides whether to show a date.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SERP Snippet Preview work?▼
The SERP Snippet Preview runs 100% inside your web browser using modern client-side JavaScript. It performs calculations, conversions, and document processing locally on your device without sending any data to external servers.
Is this serp snippet preview completely free to use?▼
Yes. This tool is completely free with no usage limits, no subscriptions, and no registration required.
Is my data private when using the SERP Snippet Preview?▼
Yes. Because all operations execute locally on your computer or phone, your inputs, documents, and data never leave your browser.
What is the title pixel limit?▼
Google truncates by pixel width, not characters. Around 600 pixels on desktop is a common rule of thumb, but it varies.
Will Google use my description?▼
Sometimes. Google often builds the snippet from page text that matches the query. A clear, accurate description is used more often but is never guaranteed.
Why does the preview differ from real results?▼
Real results depend on the query, device, fonts and Google's current design. Treat the preview as a draft check.
