About this tool
Google cuts titles and descriptions by pixel width, not character count, so a title full of capital letters is cut sooner than one in lower case. This preview measures text the way Google's result font does and shows where your snippet is likely to be cut.
How to use it
- Type or paste your page title, meta description and URL.
- Check the desktop and mobile previews and the stats for anything marked as cut off.
- Copy the finished title and description tags into your page.
Questions
Will Google show exactly this snippet?
Not always. Google rewrites titles and picks its own description text for many queries. A good title and description still make it far more likely that yours is shown.
Why does the preview measure pixels?
Google's results have a fixed width, so it trims text that does not fit. Wide letters like W and M use more space than i and l, which is why a character count alone is misleading.
Do dates and ratings always appear?
No. Dates show for articles and news; star ratings need valid review or product structured data and are shown at Google's discretion.
