About the Open Graph Preview

Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) are what Facebook, Slack, LinkedIn and most other platforms read to build a link preview card; Twitter/X mostly uses its own twitter:* tags, falling back to Open Graph tags when they're absent. Getting them right is the difference between a link that shows a rich, clickable card and one that shows a bare, unstyled URL.

Every platform has its own truncation and aspect-ratio rules — a title that reads fine on your page can get cut off mid-word in a Slack unfurl, and a share image cropped to the wrong ratio can hide the important part of the picture. Previewing before shipping catches both.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter your page's title, description, URL and share image.
  2. 2Check how each platform's preview renders it.
  3. 3Copy the generated meta tags into your page's <head>.

Features

  • Live preview matching Twitter/X, Slack and Facebook card styles
  • Generates og:* and twitter:* meta tags together
  • Warns when a title or description is likely to be truncated
  • One-click copy of the generated tags

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?

Open Graph (og:*) is the protocol most platforms — Facebook, Slack, LinkedIn — read for link previews. Twitter/X primarily reads its own twitter:* tags, but falls back to Open Graph tags if Twitter-specific ones are missing, which is why most pages include both.

What image size should og:image be?

A common safe target is 1200×630px (roughly 1.91:1) — large enough to look sharp, and the aspect ratio most platforms crop to without losing the important part of the image.

Why doesn't my link show a preview when I share it?

Usually a missing or malformed og:image/og:title tag, or the platform's crawler being blocked from fetching the page — check that the tags are present in the page's raw HTML (not injected only by client-side JavaScript, which many link-preview crawlers don't execute).

Does this tool fetch my live URL to check its tags?

No — that would require a server-side request this site deliberately doesn't make. Enter your intended title/description/image directly and this previews how they'll render once those tags are live.
