Google SERP Preview Tool
Enter a title and a meta description to see an approximate desktop snippet. The counters update as you type. The draft stays in this browser; the page does not send it to a server.
Your draft
This is a writing preview, not a live copy of Google’s results. Title width is estimated in Arial 20 near 600 pixels. Description length uses a 100–155 character target and a width estimate near 920 pixels.

Questions
Why do character counts and pixel widths differ?
Wide letters take more room than narrow ones. This preview measures the title in Arial at 20 pixels and clips near 600 pixels on the desktop layout. Google also cuts by pixels, so two titles with the same character count can look different.
Why does the description target stop at 155 characters?
This site uses 100–155 characters as a writing target for meta descriptions. Search pages still cut by width, so a short line with wide letters can be trimmed sooner than a longer line with narrow letters.
What if a page has more than one H1?
The heading checker reports that as a structure note. It does not assign a ranking penalty. You still decide whether one main heading would be clearer for readers.
Does the robots.txt checker look at a live server?
No. You paste the file. The tool highlights User-agent, Allow, Disallow, and Sitemap, and it warns about obvious misspellings. It does not fetch another website.
Does this page send the draft anywhere?
No. The text stays in your browser after the page has loaded. You can save up to five recent drafts here and open the same title in the slug generator or the heading checker. Clearing this site’s stored data removes them. You can keep working if the network drops.
Is the snippet the same as Google’s live result?
No. The layout follows a common desktop pattern so you can judge length. Google may rewrite a title or description, and the cut moves with the device.
Is 50–60 characters a Google rule for titles?
No. It is a writing guide on this page. Use the pixel estimate as well, especially when the title has wide capitals or numbers.
