Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags that control how your web pages appear when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Slack, and messaging apps. When someone shares a link, these platforms read the OG tags to generate a rich preview card with a title, description, and image. Without properly configured Open Graph tags, platforms either display a blank card or auto-generate a poor preview that can hurt your click-through rates.
The metagenerator.org Open Graph Preview tool fetches any URL and shows you exactly how it will look when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X. It detects all key OG tags including og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:site_name. You can also see the raw tag values to quickly diagnose missing or incorrectly formatted tags before your content goes live.
Twitter/X uses its own Twitter Card tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image) but falls back to Open Graph tags when Twitter-specific tags are missing. For the best results across all platforms, you should set both OG tags and Twitter Card tags. The recommended og:image size is 1200x630 pixels for Facebook and LinkedIn, and 1200x675 pixels for Twitter summary_large_image cards. Images must be under 5MB and should be in JPG, PNG, GIF, or WebP format.
Social media shares are a significant source of referral traffic for most websites. A well-crafted Open Graph preview with an eye-catching image and compelling title can dramatically increase click-through rates from social platforms. Studies show that posts with rich link previews receive up to 3x more engagement than those with plain text links.
Beyond direct traffic, social signals indirectly influence search engine rankings. Pages that generate high engagement on social media tend to attract more backlinks, longer dwell times, and increased brand searches — all positive SEO signals. Properly configured OG tags also help search engines understand your page's content and can appear in Google's knowledge panels and rich results.

An Open Graph Preview tool shows you exactly how your URL will appear when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and messaging apps like WhatsApp and Slack. It reads your page's Open Graph meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) and Twitter Card tags to render a pixel-accurate preview of the link card that users will see. This is critical because social media previews are often the first impression someone has of your content — a missing image, truncated title, or blank description can drastically reduce click-through rates on shared links.
When someone shares your link, the preview card is what recipients see first. A compelling image, clear title, and engaging description can increase click-through rates by 2-3x compared to a generic or broken preview.
Without OG tags, each platform auto-generates a preview by scraping your page — often picking the wrong image or truncating text awkwardly. Controlling your OG tags ensures consistent, professional branding across all platforms.
Social media sharing is a significant traffic source. Posts with attractive link previews get more engagement (likes, comments, reshares), which amplifies your reach and drives more referral traffic to your site.
Links shared in WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and iMessage also use OG tags for previews. These private sharing channels represent a massive amount of link traffic that's often underestimated.
The recommended size is 1200x630 pixels for optimal display across all platforms. Use a minimum of 600x315 pixels. Images smaller than these dimensions may not display at all or appear cropped. Use a 1.91:1 aspect ratio.
Facebook uses Open Graph tags (og:title, og:image) while Twitter uses its own Twitter Card tags (twitter:title, twitter:image). If Twitter Card tags are missing, Twitter falls back to OG tags. Set both for full control over each platform's preview.
Social platforms cache link previews aggressively. Use Facebook's Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to clear Facebook's cache. For Twitter, the Twitter Card Validator refreshes their cache. LinkedIn caches for about 7 days.
