Q: What are Twitter Cards?

Twitter Cards are meta tags that control how your page looks when shared as a link on X (Twitter). They define the card type, title, description, and image that appear in the tweet preview, making shared links far more engaging than plain URLs.

Generate Twitter Card meta tags to control how your links appear when shared on X/Twitter. Live preview included.

Free Twitter Card Generator — Meta Tags for X (Twitter) Previews

When someone shares your URL on X (Twitter), the platform reads your Twitter Card meta tags to generate a rich preview with image, title, and description. Without Twitter Card tags, your shared links appear as plain text — significantly fewer people click plain links versus rich card previews. This free Twitter Card Generator creates the correct meta tags for all four card types, ready to paste into your HTML head section.

Fill in your card type, title, description, image URL, and site handle. The generator produces the complete set of Twitter Card meta tags as clean HTML you can copy and paste directly into your page's head section.

Twitter Card meta tags work alongside Open Graph tags. Most platforms, including X, fall back to OG tags if Twitter-specific tags are missing. For maximum compatibility, implement both sets of tags. This generator produces Twitter-specific tags to complement your OG implementation.
