How accurate are the pixel widths?

They are close enough to be useful but not exact, since Google uses its own font and size and mobile differs from desktop. Results near the limit should be verified in a real search.

Can it preview mobile results?

Not separately; mobile truncates earlier than desktop, so text comfortably within desktop limits is generally safe.

Can I check an existing page?

Yes, an optional import pulls the live title and description from any URL so changes can be compared.

The site states that nothing typed into the tool is stored.

About SERP Snippet Preview

SERP Snippet Preview is a free browser tool from Web Tool Bench that shows roughly how a page's title and meta description will appear in Google search results. Users type a title, meta description and display URL, or import the live tags from an existing URL to compare current and revised versions.

Instead of counting characters, the tool estimates pixel width per character, since Google truncates titles at around 600 pixels and descriptions at around 960 on desktop. This makes it more reliable for titles heavy in wide capitals or narrow letters. The site notes the figures remain estimates, because Google's font, size and mobile rendering can differ.

The page also includes guidance on writing snippets for clicks, a worked before-and-after example, and notes on how often Google rewrites descriptions. It requires no account, has no usage limits, and states that nothing typed is stored. A human-verification check runs before previews are generated.
