Your page title appears here
Your meta description appears here, in the same style Google uses.
Google cuts titles near 580px and descriptions near 990px on desktop. Wide letters use more space, so two titles with the same character count can truncate differently.

Frequently asked questions
How long can a title be before Google cuts it off?+
About 580-600 pixels on desktop - roughly 55-60 characters, but wide letters like W and M use more room than i or l. This preview measures in pixels, so you see exactly where Google would add the "...".
Why measure in pixels rather than characters?+
Because Google truncates by width, not by count. A title of thirty wide characters can be cut while one of forty narrow ones fits, so a character limit is only ever a rough guide.
What are the limits Google actually uses?+
Roughly 580 pixels for the title and 920 for the description on desktop, and less on mobile. The preview marks the point where each would be cut off.
Will Google definitely show what I write?+
No. Google rewrites titles and descriptions when it thinks something else matches the query better. A good one is still worth writing - it is what gets used most of the time.
