Open Graph preview

Loading the tool…

What you type stays in your browser. For a live check, our server fetches only the public pages and files needed for the address you enter.

Three steps

How it works

  1. Enter a page address to check it, or switch to writing the tags yourself.

  2. Review the previews and fix what's flagged, such as a missing or undersized image.

  3. Copy the meta tags into your page's head, then check the page again.

How to make every shared link look right

What Open Graph tags do

When someone shares a link, LinkedIn, Facebook, Slack, and most messaging apps read the page's Open Graph tags to build the preview card: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type. Without them, each platform guesses, and it often picks the wrong image or none at all.

X reads the same og: tags. Its own twitter:card tag only chooses the card style, such as the large image card, and twitter:site credits your X account.

Share image sizes that work everywhere

One image can serve every platform if you size it for the strictest one.

  • Use 1200×630 pixels, about 1.91:1. It meets LinkedIn's 1200×627 minimum and matches Facebook's recommendation.
  • Keep the file under 5 MB, the limit for LinkedIn and X. Facebook allows up to 8 MB.
  • Use JPG or PNG. X doesn't accept SVG, and most platforms won't show it.
  • Keep text and logos away from the edges. X shows images closer to 2:1, so it trims a little from the top and bottom.

Why your preview didn't update

Platforms cache link previews, sometimes for days. After you change your tags, ask LinkedIn and Facebook to read the page again with LinkedIn's Post Inspector or Facebook's Sharing Debugger. X has no public refresh tool, so new posts can show the old card for a while.

Each page needs its own tags with absolute addresses (starting with https://). Tags added by JavaScript after the page loads are often missed, because most platforms don't run scripts when they fetch a page.
