Google SERP Simulator

Preview exactly how your page will look in Google search results — with live, pixel-accurate truncation warnings for desktop and mobile.

Targets: title 50–60 characters (under 580px desktop), description 120–160 characters.

Google measures pixels, not characters — wide letters (W, M) fill the space faster than narrow ones (i, l).

Your Page Title Goes Here — Brand Name

Write your meta description here. This is the text searchers read under your title — make the first 120 characters count, and end with a reason to click.

Why preview your snippet before publishing?

Your title and meta description are the only things most searchers ever see of your page. A title cut off mid-sentence or a description that trails into an ellipsis costs clicks — even when you rank well. Google truncates by pixel width, not character count, so a title full of wide letters like W and M gets cut sooner than one made of narrow letters. This simulator measures real rendered pixels, the same way Google does.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a title tag be?▾
Google truncates titles by pixel width, not characters — roughly 580 pixels on desktop, which works out to about 50 to 60 characters for most letters. This simulator measures the actual pixel width of your title so you can see exactly where Google will cut it off.
How long should a meta description be?▾
Aim for 120 to 160 characters. Google shows roughly 990 pixels (about 160 characters) on desktop and somewhat less on mobile. Descriptions that run longer get cut with an ellipsis — put the important message and call to action in the first 120 characters.
Why does Google rewrite my title or description?▾
Google rewrites snippets when it thinks the tag does not match the query or the page content — studies put title rewrites at over 60 percent of results. You reduce the odds by keeping the title accurate, under the pixel limit, and matching the words people actually search for.
Is the pixel width measurement accurate?▾
The simulator renders your text in the same font family and size Google uses (Arial, 20px titles and 14px descriptions on desktop) and measures the true rendered width in your browser, so it closely matches what Google measures. Exact cutoffs vary slightly by device and by Google experiment, so treat the limits as a reliable guide rather than a guarantee.
