About Link Preview Generator
When you share a link on social media, platforms use meta tags to generate a preview card. Our free online Link Preview tool allows you to see exactly how your website will look when shared on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.
How It Works
The tool fetches the HTML of the target URL and parses its `<head>` section. It extracts Open Graph (og:) tags, Twitter Card tags, and standard meta descriptions, then renders them into visual mockups that mimic the UI of major social platforms.
Common Use Cases
- Testing Open Graph tags before launching a new website or blog post
- Debugging why a link is showing the wrong image or title on Facebook
- Optimizing social media sharing cards for better click-through rates
- Verifying that Twitter Card meta tags are configured correctly
Frequently Asked Questions
Social media platforms heavily cache link previews. If you recently updated your tags, you may need to use the official Facebook Sharing Debugger or Twitter Card Validator to force them to scrape your site again.
Open Graph is a protocol originally created by Facebook that standardizes how metadata (title, description, image) is structured on a webpage, making it easier for social networks to generate rich previews.
