Cut by width, not characters
A result shows about 600 pixels of title and 920 of description. We measure your text in the result's own font, so wide letters count as wide.

The two places a page's words are read first
The shared link, too
The card a link unfurls into on social apps and messengers: image, site, title and description, from your Open Graph tags.
Tags ready to paste
Description, canonical, Open Graph and Twitter card tags, from the same renderer our own pages ship.
How this works
Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to us. Widths are measured with your browser's canvas in the font a desktop result uses, against the commonly observed limits of about 600 pixels for a title and 920 for a description; search engines publish no exact rule.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a page title be before a search result cuts it?
It is a width, not a character count. A desktop result shows about 600 pixels of title and about 920 pixels of description, then cuts with an ellipsis. Wide letters run out sooner than narrow ones, so this preview measures your actual text in the result's own font.
Is anything I type into the preview sent to Connections?
No. The preview runs entirely in your browser. The share image is loaded by your browser straight from the address you give; we never fetch it.
Which tags does the preview give me?
The description tag, a canonical link, and the Open Graph and Twitter card tags that decide how a shared link looks - the same set, from the same renderer, that our own pages ship.
Why does a search result sometimes show a different description?
Search engines treat the meta description as a suggestion and may write their own from the page when they judge it a better match for the search. A description that plainly says what the page is about gives them the least reason to replace it.
