What This Tool Does
The Link Previewer shows you exactly how your page will look when shared on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Enter your Open Graph meta tag values and preview the social share card for each platform in real time.
When you share a link on social media, the platform reads your page's Open Graph meta tags to generate a preview card with a title, description, and image. If these tags are missing or incorrect, the preview may look broken or show the wrong content. This tool helps you get it right before sharing.
Common Use Cases
- Previewing how a blog post link will appear when shared on Twitter before publishing.
- Checking that your product page's Open Graph image displays correctly on LinkedIn and Facebook.
- Testing different title and description combinations to see which looks most compelling in social cards.
- Generating the correct Open Graph meta tag HTML to paste into your website's head section.
- Verifying that a landing page's social preview matches your brand guidelines before a campaign launch.
- Troubleshooting why a shared link shows the wrong image or title on social platforms.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter your page URL, title, description, image URL, and site name in the form fields.
- Switch between Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook preview tabs to see how the card looks on each platform.
- Adjust your title and description until the preview looks right across all platforms.
- Copy the generated meta tag HTML using the copy button.
- Paste the meta tags into your website's HTML head section.
Best Practices and Tips
- Keep your og:title under 60 characters to avoid truncation on most platforms.
- Write og:description as a compelling summary under 160 characters — this is your pitch to get the click.
- Use images at least 1200×630 pixels for the sharpest display across Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
- Always include og:url pointing to the canonical version of the page to avoid duplicate content issues.
- After updating your meta tags, use each platform's official debugger tool to force a cache refresh.
- Avoid using text-heavy images — they may be difficult to read at small sizes in mobile feeds.
