About the SERP Snippet Preview
Preview exactly how your page will look in Google search results before you publish. This free SERP snippet simulator renders your title tag, URL, and meta description in Google's desktop and mobile layouts, measuring pixel width (the way Google actually truncates) rather than just character count. Fix truncated titles, front-load your message, and craft snippets that earn clicks — no sign-up, all in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Google sometimes rewrite my snippet?
Google may rewrite titles or descriptions to better match a query. A clear, relevant, well-sized title and description make a rewrite less likely.
Does Google measure titles by characters or pixels?
By pixels. Wide characters take more space, so two titles with the same character count can truncate differently. This tool estimates pixel width, not just characters.
What's the ideal meta description length?
Aim for roughly 150–160 characters. Front-load the most important, click-worthy information in case it's trimmed.
