What are Open Graph tags?
Open Graph tags are meta tags in a page's head that tell apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and LinkedIn what title, description and image to show when someone shares the link. Without them, apps guess, and often pick the wrong image or no image at all.
Does WhatsApp use Open Graph tags?
Yes. Link previews in WhatsApp read the og:title, og:description and og:image tags of the page. Getting them right matters in India, where many customers first see your website as a link someone forwarded on WhatsApp, often without any other context. Test by sending yourself the link.
Which image size should I use?
A picture about 1200 x 630 pixels, roughly 1.9 to 1, works well for large link cards. Keep important text and faces away from the edges, because some apps crop the image differently. Use the Resize image tool with the right size to prepare it.
Why does my old preview still show after I changed the tags?
Apps keep a cached copy of each link's preview. Re-scrape the page in the platform's own sharing debugger, such as Facebook's Sharing Debugger, or wait for the cache to expire. WhatsApp can take a while to update previews for links it has seen before. Patience helps.
Is the preview exact?
It's a close approximation. Each app has its own layout, crop and text length limits, and they change over time. Use the preview to catch obvious problems, then share the real link with yourself on WhatsApp to see the final result. Each app updates on its own schedule.
How do I create Open Graph tags?
Enter the page title, description, page URL and the full address of the image, choose the card type, and check the preview. Then copy the generated tags into the head section of your page, or into your website builder's social sharing fields. Then test the link in WhatsApp.
What are X (Twitter) cards?
They're X's version of link previews, set with twitter: tags. A summary card shows a small image; a large image card shows a wide picture above the link. The generator creates both Open Graph and X tags, so your link looks right everywhere. Both are generated together.
Does the image need to be on my website?
It needs a public web address that starts with https://. Most people upload the image to their own site. Images behind a login, on local computers or with temporary links won't show in previews. A fast-loading image under about 1 MB also helps previews appear quickly.
Do Open Graph tags help SEO?
Not directly in search rankings, but attractive link previews get more clicks when people share your pages on social media and messaging apps. More clicks and shares can bring more visitors and mentions, which helps your visibility indirectly. Good previews build trust in shared links.
What title should I use for sharing?
Often the same as your page title, but you can make it more conversational for social sharing. Keep it short enough to show in full on phones, and make sure it accurately describes the page, so people aren't disappointed when they click. Avoid clickbait. Misleading titles lose trust fast.
Is anything I type sent to your server?
No. The tags are generated in your browser, so your titles, descriptions and URLs stay on your device. That's handy when preparing tags for pages that haven't launched yet. Nothing is stored afterwards, and you don't need an account, an email address or any software to use it.
Can every page have its own preview?
Yes, and it should. Give product, service and offer pages their own titles, descriptions and images, so shared links show exactly what the page offers. A single generic image for the whole site makes every shared link look the same. Offer pages benefit most. Start with your top pages.
Why is no image showing in my preview?
Common causes are an image address that isn't public, an image that's too small, a missing og:image tag, or a cached preview. Check the tags with the Meta tag analyzer, make sure the image URL opens in a browser, then re-scrape. Most fixes take minutes.
