Settings guide

og:title:

Keep to 60–90 characters. Facebook shows the full title up to about 88 characters on desktop before wrapping to a second line. On mobile, titles wrap earlier — optimize for ~60 characters if mobile reach is the priority.

og:description:

Facebook shows up to 300 characters of description in the large card format, but mobile truncates at approximately 150 characters. Front-load the key value proposition in the first 120 characters.

og:type:

Use article for blog posts and news content. Facebook treats article type differently — it shows the publish date and author when article:published_time and article:author tags are also present. Use website for homepages and landing pages.

og:site_name:

Include your brand name. Facebook displays this below the URL in the card. Keep it consistent with your actual Facebook Page name to reinforce brand recognition.

Format comparison

Facebook OG preview vs LinkedIn share preview:

Facebook's link card shows a large image above the title. LinkedIn's link card shows a smaller image to the left of the title by default. The same OG tags power both, but the visual output differs significantly. Test on both platforms if sharing to both audiences.

OG tags vs Facebook Pixel:

The Facebook Pixel tracks conversions and retargeting — it does not affect link cards or OG tag rendering. These are separate systems. Your OG tags control the link preview; the Pixel controls ad targeting and analytics.

After adding tags to your live page, use Facebook's Sharing Debugger to confirm the card renders from the cached fetch.

About this format

When someone shares your link on Facebook, the platform reads your Open Graph meta tags to construct a link card — the visual preview that shows the image, title, and description in the news feed. Getting this card right increases click-through rate significantly compared to a text-only link or a card with broken imagery.

This tool generates the complete set of Open Graph meta tags and renders an accurate preview of the Facebook link card layout, including the large image format that appears when `og:image` is 1200×630 px or larger. You see the image crop, title wrapping, description truncation, and domain display exactly as Facebook renders them.

The preview is particularly useful for marketing campaigns, blog posts going out to social media, and product launches where the first impression matters. A poorly optimized OG card with a cropped logo, a cut-off title, or an irrelevant thumbnail loses clicks that a polished card would earn. Fix it here before anyone sees it in their feed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add Open Graph tags to a Facebook link preview?+
Add Open Graph meta tags to the head section of your HTML page. The essential tags are og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type. Facebook reads these tags when it crawls your page after a link is shared. Generate the full tag block here and paste it between your head tags.
Why does my Facebook link preview show the wrong image?+
Facebook caches OG data when a URL is first shared. If you updated your og:image after the first share, the old image is still cached. Go to Facebook's Sharing Debugger, enter your URL, and click Scrape Again to force a cache refresh with the new image.
Does the og:image need to be a specific size for Facebook?+
The recommended size is 1200×630 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio for the large card format. Facebook requires a minimum of 600×315 pixels for the large image to display. Smaller images default to a small square thumbnail in the card layout.
What happens if I do not add Open Graph tags?+
Facebook will attempt to extract a title, description, and image from your page content using its own heuristics. The results are unpredictable — often showing a logo, a navigation image, or the wrong paragraph as the description. OG tags give you precise control over what appears.
Can I set different OG tags for different pages on the same site?+
Yes, and you should. Each page should have unique og:title, og:description, and og:image tags that reflect that page's specific content. Using the same generic tags across all pages creates a confusing share experience and misses the opportunity to optimize each page's social click-through rate.
