What is OpenGraph Generator?
The OpenGraph Generator is a free tool that creates Open Graph (OG) meta tags for your web pages. Open Graph is a protocol originally developed by Facebook that allows any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. When someone shares a link on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, Twitter, or iMessage, the platform reads OG tags from the page to construct a visual preview card with a title, description, image, and URL. Without these tags, platforms either guess what to display — often pulling the wrong image or a truncated snippet of body text — or show a plain, unappealing link. This tool generates the full set of required and recommended OG tags including og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, og:site_name, and corresponding Twitter Card tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image). The output is clean HTML you paste into your page's <head> section alongside your other meta tags.
Why Use OpenGraph Generator?
Social media drives a massive share of web traffic. When your link appears in a feed, the preview card is your first — and often only — chance to capture attention. A rich card with a compelling image, clear title, and concise description dramatically outperforms a bare URL. Studies show that social posts with rich link previews receive up to 40 percent more engagement than those without. Beyond marketing, OG tags matter for brand consistency. Without them, each platform picks whatever it finds, which may be a footer logo, an ad banner, or no image at all. By specifying OG tags explicitly, you control your brand's visual presence across every channel where your links are shared. The OpenGraph Generator ensures you include all required properties and formats them correctly, eliminating common issues like missing image dimensions, incorrect content types, or relative URLs that platforms cannot resolve.
How to Use
Start by entering the page title you want displayed on social cards — this can differ from your SEO title if you want a more conversational or attention-grabbing headline for social audiences. Next, write a short description optimized for social feeds, typically between 60 and 100 characters. Provide the full absolute URL to the page and the direct URL to your preferred sharing image. OG images should be at least 1200 by 630 pixels for best results on Facebook and LinkedIn. Select the content type (website, article, product, or video) and optionally enter your site name. For Twitter, choose the card type — summary for a small square image, or summary_large_image for a wide banner. Click Generate, then copy the resulting tags into your HTML. You can validate them using Facebook's Sharing Debugger or Twitter's Card Validator.
Example Usage
Imagine you published a blog post titled 'The Ultimate Guide to Remote Onboarding'. For social sharing, you want a more casual title: 'How Top Companies Onboard Remote Employees'. You enter that as the OG title, write a description like 'Learn proven onboarding strategies from companies with 100% remote teams', paste in the post URL and a custom hero image URL sized at 1200×630 pixels. The generator outputs og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type set to article, og:site_name set to your blog name, plus the Twitter Card equivalents. You paste these into your blog's HTML head template. Now when anyone shares the post on LinkedIn, the preview shows your custom image and headline instead of a random sidebar graphic.
Benefits
The OpenGraph Generator offers several key benefits. It produces both Facebook OG tags and Twitter Card tags simultaneously, so you cover all major platforms in one step. It enforces absolute URLs for images and pages, preventing the broken-image issue that plagues many sites. It provides real-time character count feedback so your titles and descriptions don't get cut off on any platform. It supports multiple content types including article, product, and video, each with appropriate additional properties. The tool runs entirely client-side, so your unpublished headlines and image URLs remain private. Finally, it saves considerable time compared to looking up the OG specification and hand-coding tags for every piece of content you publish.
