SERP Snippet Preview

Type a title, description and URL to see the search result they make on Google, Bing and Baidu.

About SERP Snippet Preview

Use this SERP snippet preview while you write: a title for a new product page, two headline ideas you can't choose between, or a meta description that has to carry a campaign message. Type the title, description and URL, and the previews update as you type: Google, on desktop or on mobile as you pick under Device, next to Bing and Baidu.

The desktop Google, Bing and Baidu previews cut the text where those engines do, measured in pixels with the real font instead of by counting characters, so wide letters and Chinese characters are handled correctly. Counters and bars show the characters and pixels used by the title and the description, so you can see how much room is left. Add a keyword to see it in bold in the snippet, the way engines highlight a searched term. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and it keeps working offline once the page has loaded. To read the tags of a live page, use Meta Tag Checker.

FAQ

SERP Snippet Preview: questions and answers

Why measure titles in pixels instead of characters?
Search engines cut snippets by width, so a title full of wide letters like W and M is cut sooner than one with narrow letters. Measuring pixels shows the real cut-off point.
Is the SERP snippet preview exact?
It's close, but search engines sometimes rewrite titles and descriptions and change their layouts, so treat it as a guide rather than a promise.
Why does Baidu cut my title at a different point?
Each engine uses its own width and font size, so a title that fits on Google can still be cut on Baidu. Check each preview.
Can I preview a page that's already live?
This tool works from what you type. To pull the title and description from a live URL, use Meta Tag Checker or SEO Checker, which show a Google and Baidu preview too.
Is what I type uploaded?
No. The preview runs in your browser, keeps working offline once loaded, and has no usage limit.
