How the Open Graph Preview works
View your page's HTML source (Ctrl+U in most browsers), select all, and paste it into the text area.
Click Generate Preview to extract Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags from the pasted HTML.
Review the Facebook/LinkedIn preview card and the separate Twitter/X preview card generated from your tags.
Scroll to the Detected Tags list to see every og: and twitter: meta tag found, with its raw value.
Tips & tricks
- There's no live URL fetch — paste your actual page HTML source, not the URL, or the tool has nothing to parse.
- Only two preview cards render: a combined Facebook/LinkedIn card and a Twitter/X card — there's no separate WhatsApp preview or a tab UI to switch between platforms one at a time.
- There's no dedicated validation checklist with pass/fail markers — check the Detected Tags list against the required og: fields yourself (title, description, image, url at minimum).
- If og:title or og:description are missing, the tool falls back to your
tag and meta description — useful for seeing what platforms will show by default when OG tags are absent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just enter my page's URL instead of pasting HTML?
No — this tool only parses HTML you paste in directly. View your page's source (Ctrl+U), select all, copy, and paste it into the text area — there's no live URL-fetch option.
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (OG) tags are meta tags in your HTML <head> that control how your page appears when shared on social media. The key tags: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type. Without them, social platforms use arbitrary content from your page.
Does this tool show a WhatsApp preview?
No — it generates two preview cards: a combined Facebook/LinkedIn-style card and a Twitter/X card, both built from the same og: and twitter: tags. There's no dedicated WhatsApp-styled preview or a tab switcher between platforms.
What image size is recommended for Open Graph?
Recommended: 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for all major platforms. Minimum: 600×315 pixels. Images must be under 8 MB. PNG or JPG are most reliable. Avoid images with text near edges as some platforms crop them.
My OG tags are set but sharing still shows old data — why?
Social platforms cache OG data aggressively. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger, Twitter Card Validator, and LinkedIn Post Inspector to force a cache refresh. This tool previews your tags locally — it can't clear a platform's cache for you.
Is my data safe when using the Open Graph Preview?
Completely safe. The Open Graph Preview processes everything locally in your browser. No input data, results, or usage information is ever transmitted to or stored on any server.
How current is the data returned by the Open Graph Preview?
The Open Graph Preview fetches live data in real time each time you run it. Results reflect the current state of the server or domain at the moment of the request.
Why does the Open Graph Preview sometimes return different results than other tools?
Results depend on the real-time state of the target server and DNS propagation, which can vary by geographic region and caching TTL. If you see inconsistencies, wait a few minutes and re-test — DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate fully worldwide.
