What this tool does

When a link is shared on social media or in a chat app, the preview card is built from Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags in the page's <head> — not from the page content itself. Missing or malformed tags mean a blank title, a missing image, or no card at all. This tool reads the tags you paste and renders the card the way a sharing platform would, next to a checklist of what's present.

How to use it

  1. Copy the <head> section of your page, or just its meta tags.
  2. Paste it into the input.
  3. Check the rendered preview card and the checklist below it.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Does this fetch my live page?
No — paste the HTML yourself. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere; the tags are parsed in your browser.
Why is my image not showing?
The preview loads the URL in your og:image tag directly from your browser, so it will only appear if that URL is public and reachable. A missing image tag also leaves the card blank.
Do I need both Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?
Open Graph (og:*) covers Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and most platforms. Twitter/X reads twitter:* tags first and falls back to Open Graph, so setting both gives the most consistent result.
