Google SERP Simulator: Preview Your Title & Meta Description

Check how your website appears in Google search results. innovative pixel-width counter ensures your title tags aren't truncated on desktop or mobile.

Why Pixel Width Matters?

Google doesn't count characters; it counts pixels. A wide letter like 'W' takes up more space than 'i'. Our tool calculates the exact pixel render width using the Arial font Google uses, giving you a 100% accurate truncation preview.

Optimize Your Search Appearance

Your Google search listing is your digital storefront. If your title is cut off, or your description doesn't match the user's intent, you lose clicks — even if you rank #1.

Many old SEO tools check for "Character Counts" (e.g., "Keep it under 60 chars"). This is outdated. Google actually allocates a specific pixel width container for your result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Google cut off my title even if it's under 60 characters?
Google uses a pixel limit (approx. 600px on desktop), not a strict character limit. Wide characters like "W", "M", and capital letters take up more space than "i" or "l". Our tool measures the exact width in pixels to prevent unexpected truncation.
What is the optimal length for a Meta Description?
For desktop, aim for approx. 960 pixels (roughly 155-160 characters). For mobile, it's shorter, around 680-700 pixels (120 characters). Keep your most important keywords and call-to-action at the beginning.
Does this tool support Rich Snippets?
Yes! You can toggle "Star Ratings", "Dates", and "Thumbnail Images" to see how they impact the visual weight of your snippet and if they push your description to be truncated.
Why is the mobile preview important?
More than 60% of Google searches happen on mobile devices. The mobile SERP layout is narrower, and titles are more likely to wrap or be cut off. Always check the Mobile tab in our simulator.
Is this simulator updated for the 2026 Google design?
Yes, we update our CSS to match Google's latest design systems, including the round favicons, "Site Name" headers, and Dark Mode color palettes.
