Open Graph Generator

What the Open Graph Generator does

The Open Graph Generator creates Open Graph meta tags for a page, controlling exactly how its link preview appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms that use the Open Graph protocol.

How to use it

  1. Enter the title, description, URL, image URL, and content type for the page.
  2. Review the generated Open Graph tags.
  3. Click Copy tags and paste them into your page's <head> section.

Common uses

  • Setting a specific title, description, and image for how a page previews when shared on social media.
  • Fixing a broken or generic link preview that isn't showing the right image.
  • Standardizing Open Graph tags across a set of blog posts or product pages.
  • Preparing Open Graph tags for a new landing page before a marketing campaign.
  • Debugging why a shared link isn't displaying a preview image correctly.

Good to know

After adding or changing Open Graph tags, most platforms cache the previous preview and won't show the update immediately — Facebook, LinkedIn, and similar platforms each provide their own debugging/preview tool that lets you force a re-scrape of the page, which is usually necessary to see the new tags reflected.

The Open Graph protocol was introduced by Facebook in 2010 specifically to control how shared links appeared in the news feed, and it was adopted widely enough by other platforms that it's now the de facto standard for link previews across most social networks and messaging apps, even those with no direct connection to Facebook.
