See exactly how your page will look when shared on social media. Fill in the fields below and preview your link cards across Facebook, Twitter/X, Google, Slack, and Discord.
Open Graph (OG) is a protocol originally created by Facebook that lets you control how your web pages appear when shared on social media. By adding a few <meta> tags to your page's <head>, you define the title, description, image, and URL that platforms display in link previews. Without OG tags, platforms guess what to show — often with poor results.
Social sharing is one of the highest-leverage distribution channels on the web. A compelling link preview with the right image, title, and description dramatically increases click-through rates. Studies show that posts with rich previews receive up to 3× more engagement than those with plain URLs.
Twitter (now X) uses its own set of meta tags alongside Open Graph. The most important is twitter:card, which controls the card layout. Use summary_large_image for a full-width image card or summary for a smaller square thumbnail. Twitter falls back to OG tags for title and description if its own tags are not present.
After adding meta tags to your page, use this tool to preview how they'll render. For live validation, use the Facebook Sharing Debugger and the Twitter Card Validator to clear cached previews and verify your tags are being read correctly.

summary_large_image for a full-width image card or summary for a compact thumbnail.<head> and validate with the Facebook Sharing Debugger.The recommended minimum is 1200x630 pixels with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter all render this size well. Images below 600 px wide may be cropped or replaced with a placeholder.
Each platform has its own renderer, card layout, and character limits. Twitter uses twitter:card tags; Slack and Discord may cache previews differently. Testing with this tool before sharing ensures consistent results.
OG tags do not directly influence search rankings, but compelling previews increase click-through rates from social platforms, which drives traffic and indirectly supports SEO. Pair this tool with a meta tag generator and schema markup generator for a complete SEO optimization workflow.
Stick with 1200x630 px (1.91:1) as the default — it renders cleanly on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and Discord. For Twitter/X summary_large_image, the same asset works. Keep the file under 5 MB and use PNG or JPG; avoid WebP for the primary OG image.
Not usually. Twitter/X falls back to og:image when twitter:image is absent, and 1200x630 renders correctly as summary_large_image. Only add a dedicated twitter:image if you want a different crop or aspect ratio specifically for Twitter.
LinkedIn reads standard og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url tags. It aggressively caches previews — after updating, use the LinkedIn Post Inspector to clear the cache. Images below 1200 px wide often fall back to a generic placeholder.
Social platforms cache previews for days or weeks. Clear the cache with the Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector, or by appending a query string (?v=2) to the URL. Discord and Slack typically refresh within an hour.
AI search engines primarily read page content and structured data, but OG tags supply a clean title, description, and hero image that many crawlers use as fallbacks. Well-formed OG + schema together maximize citation eligibility.
