Open Graph Preview Generator
Test how your links appear on social media
About the Open Graph Preview Generator
How your link looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter comes down to your Open Graph tags — and getting them wrong means a broken or unappealing preview. This tool lets you enter your OG title, description, image, and other fields, then shows side-by-side previews of how the card will render on each platform, and generates the meta tags to copy into your page.
Marketers and developers use it to fine-tune a share card before publishing, checking that the title is not truncated and the image displays. Seeing all three platforms at once catches differences between them, and the generated meta tags drop straight into your page's head.
How to Use the Open Graph Preview Generator
- Enter your OG title and description, watching the character counters near the recommended limits.
- Add an image URL or upload an image, then set the URL, site name, and OG type.
- Review the live Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter previews side by side.
- Copy the generated Open Graph meta tags into your page's head section.

- It generates clean, copyable Open Graph meta tags from your inputs, not just a preview.
- Color-coded character counters flag titles and descriptions that risk truncation.
- It works entirely in your browser; your inputs and uploaded images stay on your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph tags are meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, and others) that tell social platforms how to display your link. Without them, platforms guess from page content, often producing a poor or broken preview.
Can this fetch the Open Graph tags from an existing URL?
No — this tool builds and previews tags from the fields you enter manually rather than fetching them from a live page. Enter your title, description, and image to see the previews and generate the tags to add to your site.
Why does my preview differ between platforms?
Each platform lays out cards differently — Facebook shows the site name, LinkedIn and Twitter emphasize the image and title differently, and truncation lengths vary. Previewing all three helps you write a card that works everywhere.
Where do the generated tags go?
Paste them inside the <head> of your HTML page. Once deployed, social platforms read them when your link is shared and render the preview accordingly; you can re-scrape with each platform's debugging tool to refresh a cached preview.
