What is an Open Graph Tag Generator?
Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta tags that control how your webpage is presented when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, and Slack. When someone shares a link, these platforms "scrape" the page and use OG tags to determine the preview title, description, image, and content type. Without OG tags, platforms use whatever content they find — often with poor or unpredictable results.
Twitter Card tags serve the same purpose for Twitter/X, providing a title, description, image, and card style for tweet previews. Together, Open Graph and Twitter Cards ensure your content looks professional and compelling whenever it is shared online, directly improving click-through rates from social media. Our generator provides a live social preview, letting you see exactly how your link will look before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Facebook and most platforms recommend 1200×630 pixels for the og:image — this is the standard for "summary_large_image" cards. The minimum is 600×315 pixels. Images smaller than 200×200 pixels may not display. Use a 2:1 aspect ratio (1200×600) if you want the image to display well both as a large preview and as a small thumbnail.
Social platforms cache scraped metadata aggressively. After updating OG tags, use the platform's debugging tools to force a re-scrape: Facebook's Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), LinkedIn's Post Inspector (linkedin.com/post-inspector), or Twitter's Card Validator. These tools refresh the cache so the updated preview appears.
Use "website" for your homepage, about page, and most static pages. Use "article" for blog posts, news articles, and published content — it enables additional optional tags like article:published_time and article:author. Facebook's Open Graph protocol supports many types including product, video, music, and book for e-commerce and media sites.
OG tags do not directly affect Google search rankings — Google has its own title and description systems. However, they indirectly help by improving social media click-through rates, which can increase website traffic, brand visibility, and the likelihood of earning backlinks. More traffic and links do positively influence rankings over time.
