Free SERP Snippet Preview & Meta Tag Generator
A great meta title and description can be the difference between a searcher clicking your result or a competitor's. This tool shows a pixel-accurate preview of how your page will appear in Google search results on desktop and mobile, with live character and width limits so your snippet never gets awkwardly cut off.
How to use this tool
- Enter your page URL, title, and meta description.
- Watch the counters — green means safe, amber means you're near the limit, red means Google will likely truncate it.
- Optionally add a focus keyword to see it highlighted in the description preview.
- Copy the finished title, description, or ready-to-paste
<title>/<meta>tags straight into your page's<head>.
Ideal meta title & description lengths
- Title: aim for around 50–60 characters (roughly 580 pixels on desktop) so it doesn't get cut off with "…".
- Description: aim for around 150–160 characters (roughly 920 pixels on desktop); Google may still rewrite it based on the search query.
- Front-load your primary keyword and value proposition — the first few words matter most for both users and click-through rate.
Frequently asked questions
help_outline What is the ideal length for a meta title?
Google typically displays up to about 580 pixels of a title on desktop — roughly 50–60 characters depending on the letters used. Pixel width is more accurate than a flat character count, which is why this tool measures both.
help_outline What is the ideal length for a meta description?
Around 920 pixels on desktop, roughly 150–160 characters, though Google can truncate or rewrite it depending on the search query.
help_outline Does Google always use the description I write?
No — Google often generates its own snippet from page content when it thinks that matches the query better, but a strong, relevant description still improves click-through rate when it is used.
