OG Validator
Validate Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags for any URL. Get a score, see issues, and preview how the URL appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X.
What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph (OG) meta tags control how a URL appears when shared on social media. og:title sets the headline, og:description sets the summary, og:image sets the preview image. Without them, platforms infer content — often with poor results.
Why use OG Validator online?
OG Validator in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no fragile one-liners, and instant feedback for teammates who do not live in the terminal. It is ideal for debugging, demos, and quick checks during code review.
Tips for best results

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does OG Validator do?
- Validate Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags for any URL. Get a score, see issues, and preview how the URL appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X.
- Does it check Twitter Card tags?
- Yes. The validator checks og:* Open Graph tags, twitter:* card tags, and standard HTML title/description tags.
- Why is my image not showing?
- The og:image URL must be absolute (https://...), publicly accessible, and at least 200×200 px. The validator checks all of these.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.
- Does my data get sent to a server?
- No. Processing runs in your browser whenever possible. Sensitive input never leaves your device unless a tool explicitly fetches a URL you provide (e.g. OG Validator).
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. The tools work in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for large JSON or PDF workflows.
- How is this different from desktop apps?
- There is nothing to install or update. Open a bookmarked URL and start working — ideal for quick tasks during development or support calls.
- Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Most tools support standard paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and select-all in text areas. Copy buttons provide one-click output.
- Does Skybin store my history?
- No. We do not log tool inputs or outputs. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state unless the tool encodes state in the URL.
