- Is this OG Preview tool free to use?
- Yes, the OG Preview tool is completely free with no limitations. Preview how your links appear on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, and Slack without any registration or restrictions.
- Is my data private when using this tool?
- When you fetch OG tags from a URL, the request goes through our server to avoid CORS restrictions, but we do not store or log any data. When entering data manually, all processing happens locally in your browser and nothing is sent to any server.
- What are Open Graph tags and why do they matter?
- Open Graph (OG) tags are meta tags that control how your content appears when shared on social media. They define the title, description, and image shown in link previews. Without proper OG tags, platforms may display incorrect or missing information, reducing engagement with your shared links.
- Why do different platforms show my link differently?
- Each platform interprets OG tags slightly differently and has its own display formats. Twitter uses its own twitter:card tags with fallback to OG tags, Discord adds a colored border and specific layout, while LinkedIn and Facebook stick closer to the OG specification. This tool helps you see exactly how each platform will render your link.
- What image size should I use for OG images?
- The recommended size for OG images is 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio). This size works well across most platforms. Twitter large cards work best at this ratio, while smaller thumbnails on Discord and Slack will crop the image. Always use absolute URLs for images to ensure they load correctly.
