What Is Twitter Card Preview?

The Twitter Card Preview tool shows you exactly how your link will appear when shared on Twitter/X, and generates the required meta tags for your website. Twitter Cards are the rich link previews that appear when someone shares a URL — they include a title, description, image, and domain. There are two main types: Summary (small square image with text) and Summary with Large Image (wide image above text). Getting your card right is essential for click-through rates — a well-designed card can dramatically increase engagement when your content is shared. This tool lets you preview both card types, adjust your content, and generate the exact HTML meta tags needed to implement cards on your website.

Why Use Twitter Card Preview?

Generates copy-ready HTML meta tags for your website
Character count guidance for title (70 chars) and description (200 chars)

Technical Guide

Twitter Cards require specific meta tags in your page's <head> section. The minimum required tags are: twitter:card (type), twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image. The card type can be "summary" (small image) or "summary_large_image" (large image above text). Title should be under 70 characters, description under 200 characters. Images should be at least 120×120 pixels for summary and 300×157 for large image cards. Twitter caches card data, so changes may take time to reflect — use the Twitter Card Validator (cards-dev.twitter.com/validator) to force a refresh. If you already have Open Graph tags, Twitter will fall back to those if twitter: specific tags aren't present, but dedicated twitter: tags give you more control over the appearance.

Tips & Best Practices

1
Use "summary_large_image" for visual content — it gets significantly more clicks
2
Keep titles under 70 characters to prevent truncation
3
Use high-contrast images that are clear at small sizes
4
Test your cards with Twitter's Card Validator after implementing meta tags
5
Use a compelling description that gives users a reason to click through
