Free Responsive Tester Online
Mobile traffic now exceeds desktop on most websites globally — over 60% on average — and Google's mobile-first indexing means your site is judged primarily on how it looks and performs on a phone. But every developer knows the agony of designing a beautiful desktop layout only to discover on launch day that it breaks horribly on iPhone, looks weird on iPad, and overflows on Android. Our free online responsive tester lets you preview any live website at every common device size in seconds — no real phones to juggle, no DevTools to wrangle, no setup. Type the URL, pick a device preset, and the site renders at exact viewport dimensions inside an iframe. Switch between iPhone (multiple models, including the latest Pro Max with notch dimensions), iPad (mini, regular, Pro), Android phones (Pixel, Galaxy, OnePlus), Android tablets, and various desktop sizes (laptop 1366×768, MacBook 1440×900, full HD 1920×1080, ultrawide 2560×1080). Toggle between portrait and landscape to catch issues in both orientations. Or enter custom width and height for niche cases (smart TVs, kiosk displays, small webview windows). Common workflows people run it for: checking your own site looks good on mobile before deploying a new release, debugging a CSS layout issue that only appears at certain breakpoints, comparing how your site looks against a competitor at the same screen size, demonstrating a design issue to a remote teammate or client without screen-sharing, and quickly previewing how a third-party landing page renders on devices you do not own. **Important boundary:** this is a viewport simulator, not a full device emulator. It accurately reproduces screen dimensions and triggers the same CSS media queries a real device would, but it does not simulate device-specific quirks (iOS Safari's notch handling, Android Chrome's scrollbar behaviour, true touch event handling, or device-specific font rendering). For high-fidelity testing, real devices, BrowserStack, or LambdaTest are the right tools. For 90% of "does my responsive design break?" questions during everyday development, this simulator is faster and more convenient. **Another caveat:** some websites set HTTP headers (X-Frame-Options: DENY or Content-Security-Policy with frame-ancestors: 'none') that block iframe embedding for security. Major sites like Google, Facebook, banking portals, and most social media block themselves from iframes — they will fail to load in the tester. Your own sites and most public marketing/blog sites work fine. Pair this with our [Mobile-Friendly Test](/tools/mobile-friendly-test) for Google's official mobile-friendliness audit, [Website Speed Test](/tools/website-speed-test) for performance metrics, [Live Code Editor](/tools/live-code-editor) for testing your own code's responsive behaviour, and [SEO Title Analyzer](/tools/seo-title-analyzer) for SEO optimization.
How to Use Responsive Tester
Enter URL
Type or paste the website URL you want to test for responsive design. The tool validates the URL and loads it in the preview iframe.
Choose Device
Select from preset device sizes (iPhone 15, iPad Pro, Pixel 8, Galaxy, MacBook, Full HD, etc.) or enter custom dimensions for niche viewports. Switch between portrait and landscape with one click.
Preview & Test
View the website at the selected viewport size. Scroll inside the preview to test long-page responsive behaviour. Switch between devices to compare layouts side-by-side mentally.
Features
Preset Devices
Test on popular device sizes including iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad mini/regular/Pro, Pixel 8, Galaxy S24, OnePlus, Android tablets, MacBook, and various desktop resolutions.
Custom Dimensions
Enter any custom width and height to test at specific resolutions — useful for smart TV screens, kiosk displays, embedded webviews, or testing exact CSS breakpoint values.
Live Preview
The website renders in real-time at the selected viewport size. CSS media queries trigger correctly because the iframe receives the exact pixel dimensions a real device would have.
Portrait/Landscape
Toggle between portrait and landscape orientations to catch issues that only appear in one mode — landscape is often forgotten in CSS testing but matters for mobile users.
No Installation
Browser-based tool — no app to install, no extension to add, no DevTools to learn. Faster than firing up Chrome DevTools device mode for casual checks.
Public URL Testing
Test any publicly accessible URL — your own site, a competitor, a client preview link, a landing page from an email campaign. Just paste the URL.
