About the Open Graph Preview
When you share a link on social media, platforms read Open Graph (og:) and Twitter Card meta tags to build the preview card users see. This tool lets you enter a URL or paste raw meta tags and instantly see how the link will appear on Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and messaging apps like WhatsApp and Slack.
The preview shows your og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url exactly as social platforms render them, including image cropping and text truncation. Issues such as missing tags, oversized images, or title length problems are flagged with actionable recommendations.
Use this before publishing new content or running ad campaigns to ensure your links look professional and drive maximum click-through rates across every platform.
How to use the Open Graph Preview
- Enter a URL or paste your HTML meta tags into the input.
- View live previews for Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.
- Check the validation panel for missing or misconfigured tags.
- Fix any flagged issues (image size, title length, missing description).
- Re-check after making changes to confirm everything renders correctly.
Frequently asked questions
What Open Graph tags are required?
At minimum you need og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url. For best results also include og:type, og:site_name, and platform-specific tags like twitter:card and twitter:image:alt.
Why does my image look cropped?
Each platform has preferred image dimensions. Facebook recommends 1200×630px, Twitter uses 1200×628px for summary_large_image cards. Images outside these ratios get center-cropped automatically.
How do I force platforms to refresh the cached preview?
Facebook: use the Sharing Debugger and click "Scrape Again". Twitter: use the Card Validator. LinkedIn: append a query string to the URL or use their Post Inspector tool.
Do these tags affect SEO rankings?
Open Graph tags do not directly influence search engine rankings. However, better previews increase click-through rates from social shares, which can indirectly boost traffic and engagement signals.
