Open Graph Checker

Paste a URL to check its Open Graph and Twitter/X card tags, and see a rough preview of what a shared link might look like.

This is an approximate preview built from the tags found on the page. Actual appearance varies by platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc.) and can change without notice — this isn't an official preview from any of them.

What Are Open Graph and Twitter/X Card Tags?

Open Graph tags (like og:title and og:image) are meta tags that control how a link looks when shared on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. Twitter/X reads its own similar set of tags, falling back to Open Graph tags when a Twitter-specific one is missing.

Why Is It Useful?

A link shared without these tags often shows up as a bare title with no image, which gets far less attention than a card with a clear title, description, and image. Checking them before sharing helps catch a missing or broken image ahead of time.

How to Use It

Paste a public page's URL and click "Check Open Graph." The tool reads the page's Open Graph and Twitter tags and shows which are present, plus a preview built from whichever tags it found (falling back sensibly when some are missing).

How to Interpret the Results

PASS means the tag was found. MISSING means it wasn't, but note that Twitter/X tags specifically fall back to their Open Graph equivalent — so a missing twitter:title isn't a problem if og:title is set.

Common Mistakes

Limitations

This shows what's in your page's HTML, not a guaranteed rendering from any specific platform — Facebook, LinkedIn, and X each cache and render previews a little differently, and may cache an old version of your tags until their cache expires.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should og:image be?

Most platforms recommend at least 1200×630 pixels for a crisp, properly-cropped preview, with an aspect ratio close to 1.91:1.

Why does Facebook show an old image after I changed it?

Facebook and other platforms cache share previews. You may need to use their respective debugging/cache-clearing tools to force a refresh.

Do I need both Open Graph and Twitter tags?

Not strictly — Twitter/X falls back to Open Graph tags when its own are missing. Adding dedicated Twitter tags gives you more control but isn't required.

Will social platforms always show exactly what my tags say?

No. Platforms can truncate text, resize or decline an image, or occasionally substitute their own content if yours looks incomplete.

Is this an official Facebook or X preview tool?

No — this is klikwit's own approximation based on the tags found on your page, not an official tool from any social platform.
