About this tool

This tool checks how your Meta Title and Meta Description may appear in Google search results.

Instead of relying on simple character counts, it measures rendered width in pixels (px) and simulates Google-style truncation (…), helping you preview a more realistic SERP snippet.

Key features

Pixel measurement: Canvas-based text metrics closer to real rendering
Device switching: desktop and mobile rules
Truncation preview: automatically shows an ellipsis (…)
Character count: a quick reference for fast checks

Reference thresholds (px)

These are the default best-effort thresholds used by this tool (actual results can vary by language and rendering):

Title (Desktop): safe ≤ 520px | limit ≈ 580px
Title (Mobile): safe ≤ 560px | limit ≈ 650px
Description (Desktop): safe ≤ 830px | limit ≈ 920px
Description (Mobile): safe ≤ 600px | limit ≈ 680px

Prefer staying in the “safe” zone, not the absolute limit.

FAQ

Q: Why does this tool use pixels instead of character count?: A: Google truncates snippets based on rendered width, not raw character count. The same number of characters can take very different space depending on font and letter shapes (like W/M).
Q: Should I follow pixels or character count?: A: Use pixels as the primary signal (closest to what gets shown), and use character count as a quick sanity check. Common guidelines are ~50–60 chars for titles and ~120–160 chars for descriptions, but pixels + preview should decide.
Q: Are the limits always accurate?: A: They are best-effort approximations. Google can change snippet rendering and fonts, and results can vary by device and language. This tool aims to be close and consistent.
