Search result preview

Page title

Page summary

Visual draft only. Search engines can rewrite the title or snippet and display length changes by device and query.

What this preview does

Shows an illustrative search-result card from the URL, title, and description you enter. Switch between desktop and mobile widths and compare the copy as a searcher might scan it.

How to use it

Enter a page URL, title, and summary. The preview updates as you type. Character counts use 60 and 160 as editorial reference values, not search-engine limits. Reset clears all three fields.

Worked example

Entering /blog/best-hiking-boots with a 58-character title and a 145-character description shows both fitting cleanly on desktop; typing a 78-character title instead shows it visually clipped, which is a signal to shorten it rather than a hard failure.

Display behavior

A valid HTTP or HTTPS URL supplies the hostname and path; query and fragment are omitted. Incomplete URLs use an example address. The title is visually limited to one line and the summary to three lines. No page is fetched.

Character length guidance

60 characters keeps most desktop titles from clipping and 160 characters keeps most descriptions from being cut, but actual pixel width depends on the specific letters used — a title full of narrow letters like i and l fits more characters than one full of wide letters like W and M.

Limitations

This is not an exact Google renderer or a pixel-width measurement, and it doesn't check whether the URL, title or description actually exist on a live page. Google can choose different title or snippet text for a query, and layouts vary by device and result type.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser from the text you type; no URL is fetched and no entered value is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this match Google's exact rendering?
It's a close visual approximation — Google sometimes rewrites titles or descriptions, but this shows the intended snippet.
Why is my title or description truncated?
The preview limits the title to one visual line and the summary to three. The 60/160 counters are writing guides, not Google limits; real results vary by device and query.
Can I preview mobile results?
Yes. Use the Desktop and Mobile buttons to switch the preview width; neither view guarantees Google's final display.
