Preview how your page looks in Google search results and on social feeds before you publish. Fix cut-off titles and missing share images. Free, no sign-up. The preview is an approximation, not an exact rendering of Google.
About this tool
The WizeTool SEO Preview is a free, no-sign-up tool that renders your page as Google and social platforms will show it. Enter a URL and it fetches the public page once to read its title, meta description, canonical and Open Graph tags, or type the tags manually. You get a live Google snippet mock, a Twitter card and an Open Graph preview, plus character and pixel counters that turn amber when a field is too wide.
How it works: the tool reads public tags only. It does not store the page content or your tags. Fetched pages are read once and discarded.
Limits: previews are approximations. Google rewrites titles and descriptions in many cases, so the preview is a guide, not a guarantee. Social platforms cache cards, so a fix may take time to appear.
What it does
- Renders a Google search result snippet from your title, description and URL.
- Renders a Twitter card and an Open Graph preview from your share tags.
- Counts characters and pixel width, warning when a field is too long.
- Fetches a public URL once to read its tags, or accepts manual input.
- Flags missing basics such as og:image or a canonical tag.
How to use it
- Open SEO Preview. It works on desktop and mobile and needs no account.
- Choose "Analyze a URL" and enter a page address, or choose "Type or paste tags" and fill in the fields.

What it can and can't do
Can:

- Show how your share image and text look on Twitter and other social platforms.
- Warn when a field is too long or missing.
- Fetch a public page once to read its tags.

Worked example
Imagine you are about to publish a blog post titled "How to Check an SEO Preview Before You Publish" with a 78-character title. You paste the URL into SEO Preview and the Google mock cuts the title with an ellipsis. The counter turns amber. You shorten the title to 58 characters, the counter turns green, and the snippet reads cleanly. You also notice the share image is missing, so you add an og:image. Two minutes later the page is ready to publish.
