What is an Open Graph Generator?
Open Graph tags control how your content appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social platforms. Without them, platforms make guesses that often look bad - wrong images, truncated titles, or missing descriptions.
This generator creates both Open Graph (og:) tags and Twitter Card tags, ensuring your content looks great everywhere it's shared.
Essential Open Graph Tags
Include these tags for best results:
- og:title - The title shown in social shares
- og:description - A compelling summary (2-4 sentences)
- og:image - The image displayed (1200×630px recommended)
- og:url - The canonical URL of your page
- og:type - Content type (website, article, product)
Social Media Best Practices
Use eye-catching images that work at various sizes. Text on images may be cropped on mobile. Faces and products perform well.
Write descriptions that create curiosity or promise value. You have about 200 characters before truncation on most platforms.
Test your tags with Facebook's Sharing Debugger and Twitter's Card Validator to preview how shares will appear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (OG) tags are meta tags that control how your content appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. They define the title, description, image, and URL shown in social shares.
Why do I need Open Graph tags?
Without OG tags, social platforms guess what to display, often with poor results. OG tags ensure your content looks professional and appealing when shared, increasing engagement and click-through rates.
What image size should I use for og:image?
Facebook recommends 1200×630 pixels for best display. Images should be at least 600×315 pixels. Larger images appear better in feeds and get more engagement.
Do Twitter cards use Open Graph?
Twitter has its own meta tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, etc.) but falls back to OG tags if Twitter tags aren't present. Best practice is to include both for maximum compatibility.
