How it works
Type your title tag, URL and meta description and the snippet above redraws instantly, the way a Google search result would look on desktop or on a phone. Google truncates snippets by pixel width rather than character count, so this tool measures your text with the Canvas API using the same font sizes Google renders (20 px titles, 14 px descriptions) and cuts it off with an ellipsis at roughly 580 px for desktop titles and 920 px for descriptions. Aim for a title that fits without truncation and a description between about 120 and 155 characters so the whole message survives.
The URL is turned into the breadcrumb style Google shows today, and the optional date prefix lets you see how a published date eats into your description. Everything runs in your browser with plain JavaScript — nothing you type is uploaded, logged or sent to any server.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a title tag be for Google?
Google truncates by pixel width, not character count. Desktop titles are cut at roughly 580 pixels and mobile titles at about 490 pixels, which works out to roughly 55-60 characters in Arial. This tool measures the real pixel width of your exact text and shows an ellipsis the moment you cross the limit, so you never have to guess.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Aim for about 120-155 characters, or under roughly 920 pixels on desktop and 830 pixels on mobile. Front-load the important words: if Google truncates your description, only the beginning survives. Turning on the date option shows how a published date pushes your description closer to the cut-off.
Is my content uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole preview runs in your browser with plain JavaScript and the Canvas API, so your unpublished titles and descriptions never leave your device. There is no account, no API key, no tracking of what you type and no ads — you can even use the tool with your network disconnected.
