How you'll look on Google

Simulated with the measurements Google uses in 2026 (20 px Arial for the title, 14 px for the description). Google may rewrite titles and descriptions depending on the search.

    01How it works

    Three steps and done

    1. 01

      Enter a title and description

      Paste your page's title tag and meta description, its URL and, if you like, the site name and main keyword.

    2. 02

      Check desktop and mobile

      The preview updates as you type. The counters turn green, yellow or red to warn you if the text will be cut off.

    02Pixels, not characters

    Google truncates by width, not by letters

    Google doesn't cap titles at 60 characters: it caps them by width. On desktop, the title is shown in 20-pixel Arial within roughly 580 pixels. A W takes up almost four times as much space as an i, so a 55-character title full of capital letters can get cut off while a 65-character lowercase one may fit in full. That's why this tool measures with the same font Google uses.

    The meta description isn't a direct ranking factor, but it does decide whether people click. Google shows about 920 pixels on desktop (two lines) and around 680 on mobile. Lead with your main idea, include the keyword (Google bolds it when it matches the search) and close with a concrete action: get a quote, book, buy, discover.

    Google rewrites the title on a large share of results when it decides it doesn't describe the page well, and it swaps the description for a snippet of the content if yours doesn't match the search. Your best defense is a title that matches the H1, a description that sums up what's actually on the page and unique text on every page.

    Extras affect clicks too: the favicon and site name build trust, the date helps on articles and news, and review stars appear when the page has valid Review or Product structured data. You can turn them on in the preview to see how much space they take.

    • Desktop and mobile

      Simulates your result with Google's current layout on both devices, with favicon, site name and breadcrumb path.

    • Pixel measurement

      Uses 20 and 14 px Arial with your browser's engine to calculate exact width and add an ellipsis where Google would.

    • Keyword in bold

      Highlights matches in the description, ignoring accents and capitalization, the way Google does.

    • Date and stars

      Turn on the publication date and review stars to see how they change the space and the cutoff.

    • Clear recommendations

      Checks length, keyword, brand, call to action, capitalization and URL structure.

    • Shareable link

      Share your title and description proposal with your client in a link, no screenshots needed.

    04FAQ

    What people ask us

    How many characters should a title tag have for Google?
    There's no exact number because Google measures in pixels. As a guide, 50 to 60 characters usually fit within the 580 pixels on desktop. What matters is putting the keyword and main benefit at the start, in case the end gets cut off.
    And the meta description?
    120 to 150 characters usually stays within the 920-pixel safe limit on desktop. On mobile Google shows about 680 pixels, roughly 120 characters, so put the most important point in the first sentence.
    Why does Google show a different title from the one I wrote?
    Google rewrites titles it considers too long, repetitive, stuffed with keywords or out of sync with the content. To avoid it, use a descriptive, unique title similar to the page's H1, and avoid repeating your brand or listing keywords.
    How do I get stars to show up in my result?
    You need valid Review, AggregateRating or Product structured data with real customer reviews. Google doesn't show stars for reviews a business publishes about itself on its home page or in LocalBusiness markup. You can generate the markup with our Schema generator.
    Is the preview exact?
    It's a very close simulation: it uses the same fonts and measurements as Google. Even so, Google changes its layout often and results can vary by browser, language and search, so leave yourself a small margin.
