Google SERP snippet preview
Type your title, URL, and meta description — see exactly how the result renders in Google, with pixel-width truncation warnings (Google cuts by pixel width, not character count).
Check this across every page automatically.
atlookup audits title and meta-description length on every page you crawl — and flags the ones Google will truncate. Free to start.
Why the SERP snippet matters
Your title tag and meta description are the first thing searchers read about your page. A clear, well-sized snippet earns more clicks; a truncated or vague one quietly loses them. This tool shows you the snippet before you publish, so there are no surprises in the search results.
Google truncates by pixel width, not characters
A common mistake is counting characters. Google actually cuts titles and descriptions based on rendered pixel width, which depends on the specific letters used — a title full of wide letters (W, M) truncates sooner than one with narrow letters (i, l). As a practical guide:
- Title: aim for roughly 580–600px (about 50–60 characters).
- Meta description: aim for roughly 920–960px on desktop (about 150–160 characters); mobile shows less.
This preview estimates pixel width as you type and warns you before your text gets cut with an ellipsis.
How to use this tool
- Enter your title tag, page URL, and meta description.
- Toggle between desktop and mobile to see both layouts.
- Watch the width counters — green is comfortable, amber is close, red will be truncated.
- Adjust until the snippet reads well and fits.
Frequently asked questions
Does this guarantee how Google shows my page?
No tool can. Google sometimes rewrites titles and descriptions based on the query. This preview reflects the most common rendering and the length limits Google applies — a reliable guide, not a guarantee.
Is the data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
