About the Open Graph & Meta Tag Generator
When someone shares your link on Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Slack or Discord, those platforms read special meta tags to build the preview card with a title, description and image. Without them, your link may appear with a random image or no preview at all, which dramatically reduces clicks.
The Open Graph & Meta Tag Generator creates all the tags you need in one place: the standard SEO title and meta description used by Google, Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type) and Twitter Card tags. Character counters warn you when the title exceeds about 60 characters or the description exceeds 160, the lengths search engines usually display. A live preview shows how your link will look when shared.
Writing previews that get clicked
Title
Keep it under about 60 characters and put the most important words first. “Free PDF to Word Converter – No Sign-up” works better than “Home | My Company | Tools”.
Description
Aim for 120–160 characters. Say what the reader gets and why it matters, as if you were writing an advert, not a list of keywords.
Image
- Use 1200 × 630 pixels and keep text and faces in the middle, because some apps crop the edges.
- Use a full address starting with
https://, not a relative path like/img/cover.jpg. - Keep the file well under 5 MB. Compress it with the Image Compressor if needed.
After you publish
Paste the page link into the Facebook Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn Post Inspector to see the preview and refresh the cached version. WhatsApp also caches previews for a while, so a changed image may take time to appear there.
How to use the Open Graph & Meta Tag Generator
- Enter the page title, description, URL and image URL.
- Set the site name, content type and Twitter/X details.
- Check the live share preview and character counters.
- Copy the tags and paste them inside the of your page.
Frequently asked questions
What size should my Open Graph image be?
1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) is recommended. Keep important text in the center and the file under 5 MB.
Why does Facebook still show the old preview?
Social networks cache previews. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn Post Inspector to refresh the cache after updating your tags.
Do meta tags help Google rankings?
The title tag is an important ranking signal. The meta description does not directly affect rankings but strongly influences click-through rate.
