Meta Tag Snippet Analyzer
Draft title and meta description text, compare approximate display widths, and copy escaped HTML without mistaking it for Google's live snippet.
Enter your draft
This tool processes the text you enter in your browser; it does not fetch the page URL. The URL is preview context only and is not added as a canonical tag.

Approximate display preview
The selected width is fitted to the available screen. Font, query, and device can change the real result. The visual draft clamps the title to one line and the description to two; the HTML output is not truncated.
Approximate single-line width: title 0 px, description 0 px.
Width is a single-line browser measurement using 18 px Arial for the title and 14 px Arial for the description. It is not a truncation threshold or SEO score. An emoji can contain multiple code points.
Draft checks and HTML output
Enter a title.
A title is required; an empty description is omitted. Leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed and repeated inner whitespace is collapsed. Apply the output without duplicating existing title/meta tags in the head.
How to interpret the example
The example button fills a sample category title and a description of its page coverage. Compare the wide and narrow previews, then inspect the full text in the HTML output. A width simulation cannot predict an actual search result.
Do not lengthen copy just to reach a character count. Identical title and description text is a reason to review the page message; different text does not prove site-wide uniqueness. A low CTR alone does not diagnose a metadata problem.
Google title-link documentation and snippet documentation explain how Google can select result text and why display varies. For post-publication query/URL analysis, see the SEO HTML Source Analyzer.
Review page copy and technical signals together.
This draft tool does not inspect live title tags, robots, canonicals, indexing, or site-wide duplication.
TOOL GUIDE
What does this meta tag draft tool check?
Draft a title and meta description, review approximate wide and narrow display previews, and produce escaped HTML in your browser. The URL field does not fetch a page or add a canonical tag.
The preview uses browser-measured Arial text width and a visual one-line title/two-line description clamp; neither predicts Google's title or snippet selection. Full text remains in the HTML output, and no character target or SEO score is imposed.
How to use it
- Enter page-specific title and description text; optionally provide a complete HTTP or HTTPS URL for preview context only.
- Compare the approximate 600 px and 360 px layouts. Font, query, device, and Google rewriting can change the actual result.
- Copy the escaped title and optional description draft, then review the published source and relevant Search Console query/page data separately.
When to use it
- Compare a category or service page message across two approximate display widths.
- Prepare safe title/meta HTML containing special characters without truncating the output.
- Review a proposed copy change without treating CTR alone as proof of a metadata problem.

Frequently asked questions
Is 60 characters a fixed title limit?
No. Google does not set a fixed title character limit; display can vary by device width and Google may select different title text. This preview is not a ranking or appearance guarantee.
Does entering a URL read live meta tags?
No. The URL is used only for display context and format validation. The page is not fetched, and HTTP, robots, canonical, schema, or indexing signals are not checked.
Why can the HTML draft be longer than the preview?
The visual preview clamps the title and description for comparison. The generated HTML preserves the complete normalized text and escapes HTML special characters.
