What are Open Graph meta tags?

Open Graph tags are HTML meta tags in your page's head section that control how your content appears when shared on social platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. They define the title, description, image, and URL that appear in social sharing cards.

Which Open Graph tags are required?

The four required Open Graph tags are: og:title (page title for social sharing), og:type (content type, usually 'website' or 'article'), og:image (URL of the sharing image), and og:url (canonical URL of the page).

What image size should I use for Open Graph?

Facebook recommends 1200×630 pixels for og:image. This ratio (1.91:1) works well across all platforms. Twitter cards use 1200×600 (2:1). A 1200×630 image covers both. Use JPG or PNG under 8MB.

Free Open Graph Generator — Create Social Sharing Meta Tags

When someone shares your web page on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, or WhatsApp, the platform reads your Open Graph meta tags to determine what title, description, and image to display in the preview card. Without proper Open Graph tags, social platforms fall back to guessing — often picking the wrong image, a truncated title, or no description at all. This free Open Graph Generator creates all the meta tags you need to control exactly how your content appears when shared.

Fill in your page title, description, image URL, page type, and URL, then click Generate to get the complete set of Open Graph meta tags ready to paste into your HTML head. You can also preview how the card will look on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn before copying the code.

Open Graph tags also signal content structure to Google, Bing, and other search engines. While they do not directly improve rankings, a compelling og:description serves as a fallback for meta descriptions, and og:image shows up in Google Discover, image search, and rich results for articles.

Essential Open Graph Tags

og:title. The title shown in the social card. Can differ from your HTML title tag — use a more compelling, social-friendly version up to 95 characters.

og:description. 2–4 sentences describing the content. Shown below the title in social cards. Aim for 125–200 characters.

og:image. The preview image URL. Must be 1200×630px or larger for Facebook. Smaller images get downscaled or may not display in some clients.

og:type. Content type — website, article, video, product. Use "article" for blog posts and news to unlock article-specific tags like og:published_time.

og:url. The canonical URL of the page. Tells platforms the definitive URL to track shares and likes against, even if shared from a different URL variant.
