How it works
The preview redraws with every keystroke in two widths — desktop and mobile — with the title, URL and description exactly where Google puts them. Length badges warn before the cut-off so you can trim early.
type → desktop + mobile snippet
Tips
- Put the main keyword near the front of the title; cut-off eats the end first.
- Write the description as the click reason, not a keyword list.
- Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Standards and sources
- Google Search Central — Influencing your title links — Google sets no fixed length limit; 600 px and 920 px are approximate widths where results get cut off.

Frequently asked questions
How long should the title be?
About 60 characters or 600 px. Google cuts longer titles with an ellipsis, which this preview shows.
How long should the description be?
About 155–160 characters. Longer text is truncated in results.
Is the preview pixel-exact?
Close but not exact — Google varies fonts and widths. Treat red warnings as real cut-offs and green as safe.
