What Is Open Graph Preview?

The Open Graph Preview tool lets you see exactly how your webpage will appear when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms that use the Open Graph protocol. Open Graph meta tags control the title, description, image, and type information displayed in link previews. A well-crafted OG preview can dramatically increase click-through rates from social shares — posts with optimized images and descriptions get significantly more engagement. This tool provides a visual preview mimicking the Facebook/LinkedIn card format and generates the complete set of og: meta tags you need to add to your website's HTML.

Why Use Open Graph Preview?

  • Visual preview matching Facebook and LinkedIn card layouts
  • Generates all required og: meta tags
  • Multiple OG types: website, article, product, profile, video
  • Character count guidance for optimal title and description length
  • Site name and URL configuration for complete OG setup

Common Use Cases

Ensure all pages have proper OG tags before going live.

Blog Publishing

Optimize how articles appear when shared on social media.

E-commerce

Make product pages share beautifully with product-type OG tags.

Marketing Campaigns

Control the exact messaging that appears in social link previews.

Technical Guide

The Open Graph protocol was created by Facebook in 2010 and is now used by most social platforms for link previews. Core required tags: og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:url. Recommended additional tags: og:description, og:site_name, og:locale. For images, the recommended size is 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for optimal display across platforms. Facebook caches OG data for about 30 days — use the Facebook Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to refresh. LinkedIn has its own Post Inspector for similar functionality. OG tags should be in the <head> section of your HTML. If both OG tags and Twitter Cards are present, Twitter will prefer its own tags while Facebook uses OG tags. Best practice is to implement both for maximum control across platforms.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Use 1200×630 pixel images for optimal display across all platforms
  • 2
    Keep og:title under 60 characters and og:description under 160 characters
  • 3
    Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger to force-refresh cached OG data
  • 4
    Implement both og: and twitter: tags for full cross-platform control
  • 5
    Test with multiple platforms — Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack all render differently
