What's next
Settings guide
Image dimensions:
Use 1200×628 px (2:1 ratio) for the sharpest result. The card renders at 600px wide by default on desktop, so a 1200px image provides 2× resolution for Retina screens. Never go below 300×157 px — X silently downgrades to summary format at smaller sizes.
twitter:title:
X shows up to 70 characters of title text in the card. Keep under 65 characters to avoid any wrapping on smaller screens.
twitter:description:
X displays up to 200 characters of description. Unlike meta descriptions, Twitter description tags are not shown in regular Google results — you can write them specifically for the X audience.
twitter:site vs twitter:creator:
twitter:site is your publication's handle (e.g., @yoursite). twitter:creator is the content author's personal handle. Both are optional but add attribution and are required for certain app integrations.
Format comparison
Large image card vs summary card:
Summary cards show a small 120×120 px square thumbnail to the left of the text. Summary large image cards show a full-width banner image above the text. For content sharing, the large image card consistently outperforms on click-through. Use summary cards only for app download cards or when you do not have a suitable landscape image.
Twitter Card tags vs Open Graph tags:
X falls back to og:image and og:title if no twitter:* tags are present. However, using explicit Twitter Card tags gives you control over the card type and allows different title/description text for the X audience compared to other platforms.

About this format
The `summary_large_image` Twitter Card format displays a full-width banner image above your post title — giving your content significantly more visual presence in the X timeline than a text-only link or the small square thumbnail of the summary card format. If you are sharing articles, product launches, or campaign content on X (formerly Twitter), the large image card is the format that drives clicks.
This generator builds the exact set of `twitter:card`, `twitter:title`, `twitter:description`, `twitter:image`, and `twitter:site` meta tags required for the large image format, with a live preview showing how the card renders in the X timeline.
Key requirements: the image must be at least 300×157 px (recommended: 1200×628 px for high resolution), must be served over HTTPS, must be under 5 MB, and must be a JPG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP. Images that fail any of these conditions silently fall back to the summary card format — no error, just a smaller card. The preview here confirms your card renders at the large format before it goes live.
