OG Preview
Paste any URL and instantly preview how your link looks when shared on Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn — all in one place. Free, no sign-up.
Why preview Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (og:*) meta tags control how a URL appears when shared on social media. Without them, platforms fall back to guessing — often with poor results. Previewing before you share lets you catch missing images, truncated titles, or wrong descriptions before your audience sees them.
Which platforms use OG tags?
Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and many others read Open Graph tags to build link cards. Twitter/X also supports OG tags as fallbacks, but explicit twitter:* tags give you more control over the card style.
Why use OG Preview online?
OG Preview in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no fragile one-liners, and instant visual feedback for teammates who do not live in the terminal. It is ideal for debugging, demos, and quick checks during code review or before a product launch.
