Open Graph Generator
Create og:meta tags to control how your URLs look when shared on social media.
Open Graph Protocol
Open Graph (OG) meta tags control how your page appears when shared on social platforms — Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, iMessage, and many others read OG tags to generate link previews with a title, description, and image.
Essential OG Tags
og:title— the title shown in the preview (≤60 chars recommended)og:description— 2–4 sentences describing the page (≤200 chars)og:image— preview image URL; minimum 200×200px, ideal 1200×630pxog:url— canonical URL of the pageog:type— content type:website,article,video.movie, etc.og:site_name— name of the overall website
Image Requirements
- Facebook: 1200×630px recommended, minimum 600×315px
- LinkedIn: 1200×627px recommended
- Twitter: 1200×600px for summary_large_image card
- Use absolute URLs (https://...) for og:image — relative paths won't work
Why isn't my OG image updating on Facebook?
Facebook aggressively caches OG data. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to force a cache refresh — paste your URL and click "Scrape Again". LinkedIn has a similar Post Inspector tool. Changes to OG tags can take minutes to hours to appear in fresh previews.
What is the difference between OG tags and Twitter cards?
Open Graph is a Facebook-originated standard used by most platforms. Twitter Cards (twitter:card, twitter:title, etc.) are Twitter's own format. Twitter falls back to OG tags if Twitter Card tags are absent. Best practice: implement both sets, as each platform may add unique features (twitter:site, twitter:creator).
Do OG tags affect SEO rankings?
OG tags don't directly influence search ranking algorithms — Google uses other signals for search results. However, they indirectly impact SEO: pages with attractive social previews get more shares, which drives traffic and backlinks. A compelling og:title + og:description can significantly increase click-through rates on shared links.
