Google SERP Snippet Preview
Free Google SERP snippet preview tool. Enter a title, URL, and meta description to see a live desktop and mobile preview of your search listing, with truncation and character counts.
The snippet Google shows for your page — the blue title, the URL line, and the grey description — is the first thing searchers read, and it directly affects how many of them click. This preview tool recreates that listing live as you type, so you can fine-tune your title and description before they ever go live and avoid the dreaded mid-sentence truncation.
Google renders results by available pixel width rather than a hard character count, but titles around 60 characters and descriptions around 155 characters are safe rules of thumb. Use the Desktop and Mobile toggle to see how the same listing wraps differently on each device, and watch the live character counters to stay inside the limits. Everything is computed in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Google sometimes show a different snippet than mine?
Google may rewrite titles and descriptions when it thinks another version better matches the query. This preview shows your intended snippet, which is what Google starts from.
How many characters can a title or description have?
As a guide, keep titles around 60 characters and descriptions around 155. Google actually measures pixel width, so shorter, punchier copy is safer.
What is the difference between the desktop and mobile preview?
Mobile listings are narrower, so titles wrap onto more lines and may truncate sooner. The toggle lets you check both layouts from the same inputs.
