Detailed Guide & Overview

Open Graph Preview Tool: See How Your Links Look When Shared

When you share a URL on WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter/X, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Slack, the platform automatically fetches metadata from that page and generates a visual "link preview" card — showing the page title, description, and a preview image. This preview is controlled by Open Graph (OG) meta tags embedded in the page's HTML header. Our Open Graph Preview Tool lets you inspect any URL's OG tags and see exactly how the link preview will appear before sharing it publicly.

Essential Open Graph Meta Tags

  • og:title — The title that appears in the link preview card. Should be compelling and under 60 characters. Different from the page's HTML title tag.
  • og:description — A brief summary shown below the title in the preview. Optimal length: 150–200 characters. Concise, engaging description that encourages clicking.
  • og:image — The thumbnail image displayed in the link card. This is the single most important factor in link preview click-through rates. Recommended size: 1200 × 630 pixels.
  • og:url — The canonical URL for this page — helps social platforms avoid duplicate entries for pages accessible via multiple URLs.
  • og:type — Content type: "website", "article", "product", "video.movie". Affects how platforms categorise and display the content.
  • og:site_name — The name of your website, displayed in the preview card.

Twitter Card Meta Tags

Twitter/X uses its own card system alongside Open Graph. The key tags:

  • twitter:card — Card type: "summary" (small thumbnail) or "summary_large_image" (full-width thumbnail). Always use "summary_large_image" for maximum visual impact.
  • twitter:title — Overrides og:title for Twitter display (max 70 characters)
  • twitter:description — Twitter-specific description (max 200 characters)
  • twitter:image — Twitter-specific image (1200 × 675 pixels recommended for large card)

Why Your Link Preview Looks Wrong

Common reasons for incorrect link previews:

  • Missing OG tags: Platform uses page title and random content, often looking unappealing
  • Cached old preview: After updating OG tags, WhatsApp and Facebook may show the old cached version for hours. Force a refresh via Facebook's Sharing Debugger or WhatsApp's preview refresh
  • Incorrect image dimensions: Images smaller than 300 × 300px or with wrong aspect ratios may not display
  • Image behind authentication: Social crawlers cannot access images that require login — use publicly accessible image URLs
  • SSL errors: HTTPS is mandatory for image URLs to load in social previews

Download Open Graph Images & Favicons Instantly

In addition to previewing social share cards across Facebook, Twitter/X, and WhatsApp, our tool automatically extracts and lets you download the full-resolution Open Graph image and website favicon with a single click. This makes it effortless to analyze competitor social banners, archive site assets, or verify high-DPI favicon assets for any public URL.

Optimal OG Image Dimensions by Platform

  • WhatsApp / Telegram: 1200 × 630 pixels (1.91:1)
  • Facebook / LinkedIn: 1200 × 630 pixels minimum (1200 × 628 px is ideal)
  • Twitter/X Large Card: 1200 × 675 pixels (16:9)
  • General safe size: 1200 × 630 pixels works well across all platforms
