Open Graph Generator
An Open Graph generator writes the meta tags that control how a page looks when it is shared on social networks and messaging apps. Fill in the title, description, page URL and image, and this free tool builds og and twitter card tags, checks the URLs and shows an approximate preview card.
Approximate Preview Card
Generated Open Graph & Twitter Meta Tags
What is a Open Graph generator and when should you use it?
Open Graph tags are a common way to describe a page for link previews: its title, description and image. Twitter card tags do the same for X (formerly Twitter). Many sites add both. Write your search title and description with the Meta Tags Generator, and describe your organisation with the Organization Schema Generator.
How do you use it?
- Enter the page title, description and URL.
- Add an image URL and alt text.
- Choose the card type.
- Press Generate and copy the tags into the head of the page.

Result interpretation & practical applications
When evaluating the output of the Open Graph generator, review the parsed metrics against your specific site architecture. Outputs are formatted for direct implementation into your HTML source, web server configuration, or Google Search Console audit files.
Always inspect generated values for contextual nuance. Automated tools highlight structural patterns, but manual verification confirms that technical directives align with your overarching SEO strategy.
Technical rules and limitations
- Google uses the og:image meta tag and schema.org markup as sources when it chooses image thumbnails in Search and Discover.
- Image and page URLs should be full URLs.
- The Open Graph protocol is described at ogp.me.
See Google's image SEO best practices.
Common mistakes and troubleshooting
- Using a relative image URL.
- Forgetting the image, so the preview shows no picture.
- Using a different title from the one on the page.
- Leaving the alt text empty.
