Open Graph meta tags control how your content appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other social platforms. Our generator creates properly formatted OG tags to make your shares stand out in social feeds.
What Is Open Graph?
Open Graph is a protocol developed by Facebook that allows web pages to become rich objects in social networks. When someone shares your URL, OG tags tell the platform what title, description, and image to display instead of letting it guess.
Essential OG Tags
Every page should include these core tags:
- og:title - The title shown in social shares (60-90 characters)
- og:description - Summary text (150-200 characters)
- og:image - The image URL to display
- og:url - The canonical URL of the page
- og:type - The type of content (website, article, etc.)
Image Best Practices
Use images sized 1200x630 pixels for optimal display across platforms. Keep important content in the center as some platforms crop differently. Use high-contrast text that's readable at small sizes. Images should be under 8MB.
Why OG Tags Matter
Social shares without proper OG tags often show broken images, truncated titles, or irrelevant descriptions. Well-configured OG tags increase click-through rates by making your content look professional and enticing in feeds.
Testing Your Tags
After adding OG tags, test them using Facebook's Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn's Post Inspector, or similar tools. These validators show exactly how your content will appear and help identify any issues.
