Open Graph Generator
BETAGenerate Open Graph and social-sharing metadata for your webpage, preview how the information can appear across major social platforms, and get ready-to-use HTML code from one browser-based tool.
Build Social Metadata Without Writing Every Tag by Hand
Enter your page information in the editor, review the resulting Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn previews, then switch to the Code view to inspect the generated markup. The workflow keeps the metadata, visual preview, and implementation code together.
What the Open Graph Generator Does
| Function | What it provides | Why it matters |
| Metadata editor | Fields for the social metadata used by the generator | Lets you define the information associated with the shared page. |
| Social previews | Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn preview panels | Shows how the supplied information is represented before implementation. |
| Code view | Generated HTML metadata | Gives you the markup to place in the page head. |
| Browser-based workflow | Editing the previewing in the browser | Keeps the workflow direct without requiring a separate application. |
How to Use the Open Graph Generator
1. Open the generator and complete the available metadata fields for your page.
2. Review the social previews for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
3. Adjust the title, description, URL, image, or other available values until the preview represents the page correctly.
4. Open the Code view and review the generated HTML.
5. Add the generated metadata to the <head> section of the webpage you want to share.
What Are Open Graph Tags?
The protocol defines core properties such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:url, while og:description,
og:site_name, locale, and image-related properties can provide additional information.
Core Open Graph Information
| Property | Purpose |
| og:title | The title associated with the shared page. |
| og:type | The type of object represented by the page. |
| og:url | The canonical URL associated with the open Graph object. |
| og:image | The image URL used to represent the page. |
| og:description | A concise description of the page. |
| og:site_name | The name of the broader website or site. |
| og:locale | The locale represented by the metadata. |
| Image properties | Additional image information such as type. dimensions, secure URL, and alternative text when available. |
Preview Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn Metadata
A metadata generator is more useful when you can inspect the expected presentation before adding the code to a live page. OnlineToolPot provides separate preview panels for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, making it easier to spot an incomplete title, description, or image before implementation.
LinkedIn specifically documents Open Graph requirements for website sharing, including og:title, og:image,
og:description, and og:url. citeturn0search7
For X/Twitter, card metadata can use twitter:* properties such as twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, and twitter:image. Platform rendering is ultimately controlled by the receiving service, so a preview should
be treated as a practical check rather than a guarantee of identical final rendering.

Why the Image Matters
The social image is one of the most visible parts of a link preview. The Open Graph protocol supports
og:image along with structured image information such as image type, dimensions, secure URL, and
alternative text. citeturn0search0
Use an image that represents the specific page being shared rather than a generic site image. Check the
generated metadata and preview before publishing.
Code View: From Form Fields to HTML
The Code view turns the information entered in the editor into HTML metadata that can be placed in your
webpage's <head>. Review the output before deployment, especially the page URL and image URL.
<meta property="og:title" content="Your Page Title">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/social-image.jpg">
<meta property="og:description" content="A concise description of the page.">
The example above illustrates the standard Open Graph pattern. Your generated output may contain additional fields based on the information supported by the tool.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Using the Wrong Page URL
✓ Solution:
Make sure the URL in the generated metadata identifies the page you actually want to share. The Open
Graph protocol uses og:url as the object's permanent URL. citeturn0search0
❌ Using a Missing or Incorrect Image URL
✓ Solution:
An image path that is inaccessible, incorrect, or unrelated to the page can lead to an incomplete or misleading preview. Verify the image URL before adding the tags to production.
❌ Treating the Preview as a Guaranteed Final Rendering
✓ Solution:
Social platforms control their own fetching and rendering behavior. A generated preview is useful for checking your metadata, but the final presentation can still vary by platform, cache state, device, and other platform-specific rules.
❌ Putting the Tags in the Wrong Place
✓ Solution:
Open Graph metadata belongs in the page's HTML head. The official protocol documents the tags as meta elements placed in the document head. citeturn0search0
❌ Open Graph vs. Regular SEO Meta Tags
✓ Solution:
Open Graph metadata is primarily concerned with how a webpage is represented when shared through systems that consume the protocol. Standard SEO metadata serves different purposes, including describing the page to search engines and users in search results. They can work alongside each other; Open Graph tags should not be treated as a replacement for the page title, meta description, canonical URL, or other technical SEO elements.
Frequently Asked Questions
An Open Graph Generator creates the meta tags used to describe a webpage for social sharing and provides the resulting code for implementation.
