How to Use Open Graph Generator

1

Enter Page Details

Type your page title, a short description, the full page URL, and an image URL for the preview. Use a 1200x630 image and an absolute https:// address for both the page and image so platforms can fetch them reliably. Keep the title short so it is not trimmed on the card.

2

Generate OG Tags

Click Generate and the tool assembles the full set of Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, including og:type and the twitter:card layout value. A live preview shows how the card will look when shared, so you can adjust the text or image before publishing.

3

Copy & Paste HTML

Copy the generated block and paste it inside the <head> of your page. If you had shared the link before, run it through the platform's sharing debugger afterward to clear the old cached preview and pull in your new image and text.

How Open Graph Tags Control Your Social Share Cards

Open Graph tags are meta tags that tell social platforms how to display your link when someone shares it. This generator builds them for you: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, plus matching Twitter Card tags, all as clean HTML for your page head. With them set correctly, a shared link becomes an attractive preview card carrying a headline, a summary, and an image; without them, the same link often lands as a bare, easy-to-scroll-past URL. Bloggers who want every post to look inviting, marketers pushing campaign links, developers wiring up site templates, and small-business owners sharing a promotion all depend on these tags, because the preview card is what actually earns the click in a crowded feed. The difference between a link people ignore and one they tap often comes down to whether or not the image and headline render. The Open Graph protocol, originally created by Facebook in 2010, gives platforms a standard set of tags to read so the preview looks consistent everywhere — Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack, Pinterest, and more. Twitter Cards do the same job on X using a slightly different tag set. Without these tags, each platform guesses what to show and frequently picks the wrong image, pulls a stale cache, or displays none at all. With them, you dictate the exact title, description, and thumbnail. The generator formats each tag correctly, including og:type (usually "website" or "article") and the twitter:card value that chooses between a small thumbnail and a large image layout. It also adds og:locale and og:site_name when you provide them, rounding out the metadata so platforms have every detail they expect. Here is a quick pass. You enter the title "How to Compress a PDF Without Losing Quality", a one-line description, the page URL https://example.com/blog/compress-pdf, and an image URL for a 1200x630 banner. Click Generate and you receive a block containing og:title, og:description, og:image set to that banner, og:url, og:type set to "article", twitter:card set to "summary_large_image", and matching twitter:title and twitter:description. You paste it into <head>, and now the link renders as a full-width image card on LinkedIn and X instead of plain text. That single image card can lift click-through measurably compared to a raw URL, because people notice visual cards as they scroll. The everyday uses are clear. A blogger gives each article its own image so shares never look repetitive. A marketer makes a campaign link stand out with a bold branded banner. A developer adds the tags to a page template so every route ships with a proper preview automatically. A shop owner sets a product photo as og:image so a shared sale link shows the item. A startup founder previews how a Product Hunt launch post will render before going live, avoiding an embarrassing missing thumbnail on launch day. A few details make the difference between a polished card and a broken one. Use a 1200x630 image for a crisp large card; 600x315 is the bare minimum, and anything smaller may be rejected or cropped awkwardly by certain platforms. Keep the og:title punchy and the description to a sentence or two, since long text gets trimmed on most platforms without warning. Always use absolute URLs starting with https:// — a relative path like /banner.jpg usually produces a blank image because the platform cannot resolve it back to your server. The honest caveat: platforms cache previews aggressively, sometimes for days, so after changing tags you may need to run the URL through that platform's sharing debugger to force a fresh scrape and confirm the update took effect. These tags do not affect search ranking directly, but they meaningfully lift social engagement, clicks, and reshares, which drives traffic that supports your broader SEO efforts. Everything runs in your browser, so your inputs are never uploaded.

Examples: Open Graph Generator

Input

Title "How to Compress a PDF Without Losing Quality", page URL, and a 1200x630 banner image

Result

og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type=article, twitter:card=summary_large_image, plus matching twitter tags

The inputs are turned into a full set of Open Graph and Twitter Card tags so the link renders as a large image card instead of plain text.

Input

A relative image path /banner.jpg used as og:image

Result

Blank or missing image in the share preview

Platforms cannot resolve relative paths, so og:image must be an absolute https:// URL for the thumbnail to appear.
