About this tool
Why search snippets get cut off
Google truncates titles and descriptions by pixel width, not by a fixed number of characters. A title full of wide letters like W and M is cut off sooner than one with narrow letters like i and l. That is why this preview measures the actual text width using the same font size Google uses.
Even a perfect snippet may be rewritten. Google sometimes swaps in a different title or pulls text from the page if it better matches what someone searched for. Writing a clear, accurate title and a description that genuinely summarises the page makes it much more likely yours is shown as written.
